According to the report on Complete Sports, Gernot Rohr who took Super Eagles to 2018 World Cup explained that only a miracle can help Nigeria win the title.

The German explained that most of his players are not playing for top European clubs which will make it difficult for them to compete with other nations.

“France is the champions at the moment, where they are playing? They are playing in PSG, Bayern Munich. Four of them are world champions at their clubs also.

“So when you have so many of your players from your countries playing in the best clubs, so the probability that you also have one of the best teams in the world is very big.

“So it would be a miracle if we actually win the World Cup.''
