Ilenikhena, who gained global attention last season with a goal for Belgian club Antwerp against Barcelona in a famous win at the same tournament, repeated the trick again in the 71st minute to put his team 2-1 up.
Barcelona, ​​who were reduced to ten men from the 10th minute of play, failed to overcome the French team, which put an end to their 100% start to the season, thanks to Ilenikhena’s winning goal.
Born in Lagos to a Nigerian striker, he moved to France with his parents at an early age and currently holds passports from both countries, making him eligible to play for them.
However, he has not been capped by any country at any level, which could raise questions about his future as a full international in the near future.
