Nigerian forward, Victor Boniface, took to social media to post a funny reaction to Bayer Leverkusen's refusal to lose a game this season despite coming close a few times.

The new German champions were staring at defeat during their Europa League game against AS Roma before a late strike from Josip Stanisic extended their unbeaten run.

Boniface, who was an unused substitute in the second leg of the semi-final, celebrated with his teammates as Leverkusen continue to chase another trophy this season.

Immediately after the game, Boniface took to social media to post an image from the popular Chinese movie, Shaolin Soccer, to express his excitement.

"Dey play," he wrote under the photo on Instagram, which means 'we are not playing' in pidgin English.

He later shared another photo where he was carrying his teammate and Nigerian compatriot, Nathan Tella, on his back.

He wrote: "Innit boy. No break my back abeg."

The word innit is a popular slang term used mostly for people born in London, where Tella hails from, translated commonly as 'isn't it?'

Bayern Leverkusen will now face Italian side, Atalanta, in the final of the Europa League on May 22, as reported by Irish Times.
