Forgotten Super Eagles star Ramon Azeez was among the goalscorers as Granada surprisingly defeated Barcelona 2-0 on Saturday.
It took the former Almeria star just two minutes before finding the back of Ter Stegen's net to give the home side the lead.
Alvaro Vadillo also converted from the spot to double the lead as the Catalans succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the newly promoted La Liga side.
Fans, who were pleased with Azeez's current form took to social media to heap praises on the Nigerian star.
Here are some of the best comments on Twitter:
