Nigeria international Ola Aina has congratulated Chelsea on qualifying
for the final of the UEFA Youth League following their shootout win over
Porto in Nyon on Friday afternoon.
The right-back has fond
memories of the UEFA Youth League, having represented Chelsea in the
competition for three successive seasons and winning the title twice.
Aina
has made the most appearances by a Nigerian player in the UYL, twenty
in total in three seasons; no player representing an English club has
played more games than him.
In the coming years, Ola's brother,
Jordan Aina, may follow in his footsteps if he remains at Chelsea. The
16-year-old was registered for the UYL but has yet to debut or make the
match day squads.
''This is what I like to see , well done to
the @ChelseaFC u19’s another youth league final ,I’m sure you will bring
it back homeðŸ†,'' posted Ola Aina on Twitter.
