Meanwhile, Super Eagles legend Vincent Enyeama has been hailed by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy who claimed that the Nigerian star played important role in his goalkeeping career.

There is no doubt about the fact that Vincent Enyeama was one of the best goalkeepers during his active time in the national team considering his achievements with the Super Eagles.

Enyeama won the 2013 African Cup of Nations title with Nigeria under former Super Eagles gaffer Stephen Keshi.

Mendy played incredible role for Chelsea in the Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid which helped Tuchel and his wards to reach the final.

The Chelsea goalkeeper explained that Vincent Enyeama's active games years back at Lille gave him the confidence.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Manchester City’s all-time goalscorer Sergio Aguero has issued an apology to teammates and fans after missing a crucial penalty during his side's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, May 8.

The Argentine had a chance to double the Citizens lead in the final moments of the opening half but he squandered the opportunity after trying to replicate Panneka's style of a penalty kick.

But Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy was up to the task as he casually saved the spot-kick in the final moment of the opening half.
