NPFL: “We Are Equally Good to Play in the Champions League” — Bosso Reacts as Barau FC Thrash Rivers United

Barau FC technical adviser Ladan Bosso has expressed strong confidence in his team’s ability to compete on the continental stage following their impressive 4–1 victory over Nigeria Premier Football League leaders Rivers United.

The rescheduled Matchday Five encounter was played at the Sani Abacha Stadium, where the Kano-based side delivered a dominant performance to overpower their highly rated opponents.

Speaking after the match, Bosso praised the resilience, discipline, and quality shown by his players, insisting that their display proved they are capable of matching the best teams in the country and beyond. The experienced coach noted that Barau FC’s performance against a club currently competing in the CAF Champions League highlights their readiness for continental football.

“If Rivers United are playing in the Champions League and we can dominate them and score goals like this, then we are equally good enough to play in the Champions League,” Bosso said.

With confidence high, the Maliya Boys will now shift focus to their next assignment, a tricky away fixture against title contender Nasarawa United in the NPFL Matchday 18 games scheduled for Tuesday.
