Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella are looking to add Europa League glory to their Bundesliga win but face opposition from compatriot Ademola Lookman's Atalanta.
As the all-Nigerian affair in the Europa League final gets ever closer, Nigerians are rallying behind Ademola Lookman's Atalanta to emerge victorious against the Bundesliga duo of Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella's Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman and his Atalanta teammates are heading into the Dublin showdown still smarting from their agonising Coppa Italia final defeat to Juventus last weekend.

Lookman vs Boniface and Tella
This, coupled with the fact that Boniface and Tella have already tasted Bundesliga glory with an unbeaten Leverkusen season, has led many Nigerians to throw their weight behind the Atalanta star to clinch the Europa League title.
One social media user eloquently summed up the sentiment, stating on Facebook:
)
"Lukman & Atlanta should win. Victor Boniface has already won their league & he is in another German cup final as well." Another fan echoed the sentiment, simply declaring: "Lookman is winning this one."
The general consensus among Nigerian supporters seems to be that Lookman deserves this victory perhaps to make up for the heartbreak of the Coppa Italia final, with another fan wishing the Atalanta winger the "best of luck" in the Europa League showdown.

While Boniface and Tella have undoubtedly had impressive campaigns, the narrative appears to be tilting in favour of Lookman and Atalanta, as the Nigerian contingent seeks to see one of their own lift the coveted European trophy.
Whichever side of the divide you are, the stage is set for an intriguing all-Nigerian affair in Dublin, with the fans keenly anticipating a triumphant outing for Ademola Lookman and Atalanta.
