Gbenga Okunowo: Barcelona legends celebrate Nigerian star

Former Super Eagles of Nigeria defender Gbenga Okunowo is back among the trends on social media.

Okunowo, a former defender for Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona, appeared in a recent post by Barcelona.

Barcelona uploaded a photo of legends on their official social media platforms that went viral.

In the photos, Okunowo appeared with Andoni Goikoetxea, Gaizka Mendieta, Jofre Mateu, Javier Saviola, José Edmílson Gomes de Moraes, and Giovanni Silva de Oliveira.

The location in the photos featuring the Barcelona legends was the Heroes Stadium in Lusaka, Zambia.

James Chamanga made it two, while Clifford Mulenga added the third to seal a comfortable victory.
