Liga: Umar Sadiq scores the goal of the weekend! (video)

Valencia and Osasuna put on a thrilling offensive show this weekend, ending in a 3-3 draw. But it was Nigerian international Umar Sadiq who stole the spotlight with a sensational goal.

In this intense matchup, the Super Eagles of Nigeria striker scored a memorable brace, including a stunning backheel that is making waves on social media.

A return to form for Sadiq

After arriving at Valencia on loan this winter following a challenging period at Real Sociedad, Sadiq seems to be regaining the confidence he once lacked.

Signed in 2022 for 20 million euros after shining at Almería (43 goals in two seasons), he was then halted by a serious knee injury.

Today, the 28-year-old Nigerian striker is proving he hasn't lost his touch. With this brace, he brings his total to three goals in six matches for Valencia, confirming his return to form.
