Lionel Messi Nets 900th Career Goal as Inter Miami CF Exit CONCACAF Champions Cup

Argentine superstar Lionel Messi scored the 900th goal of his illustrious career on Wednesday, but it was not enough to prevent Inter Miami CF from crashing out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup after a 1–1 draw with Nashville SC.

Messi, 38, struck the historic goal just seven minutes into the second leg of the round-of-16 clash, putting Miami 1–0 ahead at Chase Stadium in Florida.

However, Nashville’s Cristian Espinoza equalised in the 74th minute, making it 1–1 on aggregate. The visitors then held firm to advance to the quarter-finals on the away goals rule.

Miami’s elimination turned what was expected to be a celebratory night into a bittersweet one, despite Messi’s milestone.

The goal increased Messi’s tally for Inter Miami to 81 goals since joining the club in 2023. Before his move to the United States, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner scored 672 goals for FC Barcelona, 32 goals for Paris Saint-Germain, and 115 international goals for Argentina national football team.

Messi’s 900th goal came 21 years after his first senior goal, which he scored for Barcelona in a 2–0 win over Albacete Balompié in 2005 when he was just 17 years old.

Despite the achievement, Messi still trails long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 965 career goals.

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano, a former teammate of Messi at Barcelona and Argentina, described the milestone as extraordinary.

“The number we’re talking about — 900 — is insane, and that’s why Leo is one of a kind,” Mascherano said.

Wednesday’s match also marked Inter Miami’s final game at Chase Stadium, which has served as the club’s home since entering Major League Soccer in 2020. The club is set to move into a new 26,700-seat stadium next month.

Messi is also expected to feature in his sixth FIFA World Cup later this year when Argentina national football team defend their title at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Argentine legend recently extended his contract with Inter Miami until 2028, continuing a career widely regarded as one of the greatest in football history.

Donald Trump Says Israel Will Halt Further Strikes on Iran’s Major Gas Field

United States President Donald Trump has said that Israel will not carry out further strikes on Iran’s major gas facility, following rising tensions in the Middle East after recent attacks on key energy infrastructure.

The statement followed an Israeli strike on the South Pars Gas Field, part of the world’s largest natural gas reservoir shared between Iran and Qatar.

Trump said Israel would stop attacking the facility if Iran halts strikes on energy installations in the Gulf region. However, he warned that the United States could take severe action if Tehran continues to target such infrastructure.

Iran had earlier launched retaliatory attacks on Gulf energy facilities, including damage to the Ras Laffan LNG Facility, one of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export terminals.

The attacks heightened fears of disruptions to global energy supply, pushing crude oil prices up by about five percent.

Trump also said the United States had no prior knowledge of Israel’s earlier strike on the South Pars gas field. However, reports from The Wall Street Journal suggested that the U.S. president had approved Israel’s plan to target the gas facility.

Iran has warned it could strike additional oil and gas installations across the Gulf region following the attack on its gas field, with missiles reportedly fired toward energy-related targets in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

King Charles III Hails Nigeria as a Global Economic Force, Commends Religious Unity

British monarch King Charles III has praised Nigeria for demonstrating that people of different religions can live together peacefully, describing the country as an economic powerhouse, cultural force, and influential diplomatic voice in the world.

The monarch made the remarks during a state dinner in London in honour of Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nigeria as a Model for Religious Harmony

King Charles noted that Nigeria has long shown that people of different faiths can coexist in peace, harmony, and shared purpose.

He referenced a meeting with Christian and Muslim leaders in the United Kingdom earlier in the day, describing the gathering as a meaningful reminder of the importance of interfaith unity.

Nigeria’s Rising Global Profile

The monarch highlighted Nigeria’s growing global relevance, pointing to the country’s large and youthful population of more than 230 million people and its expanding influence across Africa and beyond.

According to him, Nigeria’s leadership position in a rapidly changing world brings both great responsibility and opportunity.

Strengthening UK–Nigeria Economic Relations

King Charles also emphasised the deepening economic ties between the United Kingdom and Nigeria.

He disclosed that Nigeria became Britain’s largest export market in Africa in January 2026, while travel and trade between both nations continue to grow.

Statistics shared at the event showed that Nigerian visitors spent £178 million in the UK in 2024, while about 251,000 British travellers visited Nigeria and spent a similar amount.

Cultural Impact of Nigerians in Britain

The King also acknowledged the influence of Nigerians living in Britain, noting their contributions in fields such as technology, law, academia, sports, literature, and the arts.

He highlighted the growing popularity of Afrobeats music and Nollywood films, which continue to shape British culture and entertainment.

Looking Beyond the Past

While celebrating the strong relationship between both nations, the monarch acknowledged that their shared history contains difficult moments. However, he stressed that history should serve as a lesson for building a stronger future together.

Final Message

Concluding his remarks, King Charles extended goodwill to Muslims ahead of the upcoming Eid al-Fitr celebration and proposed a toast to Nigeria, ending with the phrase:

“Naija no dey carry last.”

Sultan Declares Friday for Eid-el-Fitr Celebration in Nigeria

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has officially declared Friday, March 20, 2026, as the day Muslims in Nigeria will celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

The announcement was made after the non-sighting of the crescent moon that signals the end of Ramadan across the country.

In a statement issued by the Wazirin Sokoto, Sambo Wali Junaidu, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) confirmed that no verified report of the Shawwal 1447AH crescent moon was received from any part of Nigeria on Wednesday.

As a result, Thursday, March 19, 2026, will complete the 30 days of Ramadan, while Friday will mark the first day of Shawwal, when Muslims across the country will celebrate Eid-el-Fitr.

The Sultan also urged Muslims to use the festive period to pray for peace, unity, and continued progress in Nigeria, as the faithful conclude the holy month of fasting and spiritual reflection. 🌙

Head coach of the Nigeria national football team, Eric Chelle, has sparked debate after leaving out key stars including Victor Osimhen and first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali from the squad for upcoming international friendlies.

In a statement released by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), a 23-man squad was unveiled for matches against the Iran national football team and the Jordan national football team.

Ndidi Returns, Lookman Leads Attack

Captain Wilfred Ndidi returns to anchor the midfield alongside Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka. In attack, Ademola Lookman is expected to lead the frontline in the absence of Osimhen.

The squad adjustment represents a broader reshuffle from the team that participated in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with Chelle aiming to test new tactical combinations.

Several players who were previously in the national team pool were also left out, including Cyriel Dessers, Chidozie Awaziem, Ryan Alebiosu and Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.

Goalkeeping and Defensive Changes

In goal, Maduka Okoye returns to the squad and is expected to compete for the starting position alongside Francis Uzoho and Adebayo Adeleye.

Defensively, Semi Ajayi has been recalled, while Scotland-based defender Emmanuel Fernandez receives his first senior national team invitation.

Fresh Faces in Midfield and Attack

The midfield unit also features Raphael Onyedika and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, while attacking options include Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Chidera Ejuke, Paul Onuachu and Akor Adams.

Two players — Philip Otele and Collins Yira Sor — also received their maiden call-ups after impressive performances for their clubs in Europe.

Matches Moved to Turkey

The Super Eagles will face Iran on March 27 and Jordan on March 31, with both matches scheduled to take place in Antalya, Turkey.

The fixtures were originally planned for Amman but were relocated due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The friendlies will offer Chelle an opportunity to evaluate new players and tactical options as Nigeria continues preparations for upcoming international competitions. ⚽

King Charles III Hosts Tinubu, First Lady With Full Military Honours at Windsor Castle

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was formally received with full military honours by King Charles III on Wednesday at Windsor Castle as the Nigerian president began his state visit to the United Kingdom.

The president and Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, were welcomed with a ceremonial 42-gun salute fired by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery during the official reception.

Earlier in the day, the Nigerian leader and his wife were received by the Prince and Princess of Wales — Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales — before travelling to Windsor Castle for the formal welcome ceremony.

At the castle, President Tinubu and King Charles inspected a guard of honour mounted by the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.

Gifts Exchange and Royal Collection Exhibition

During the visit, both leaders exchanged gifts and viewed a special exhibition of items connected to Nigeria from the Royal Collection.

The programme also includes a state banquet where President Tinubu and King Charles are expected to deliver speeches before invited dignitaries and guests.

The Nigerian president and the First Lady are also scheduled to lay a wreath at the tomb of the late Queen Elizabeth II inside St George’s Chapel.

Meetings and Diaspora Engagement

As part of the visit, the Nigerian delegation will meet organisations involved in interfaith dialogue and engage members of the Nigerian diaspora in the UK.

On Thursday, President Tinubu is expected to hold talks with the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, as discussions focus on strengthening trade, security, and governance cooperation between both nations.

Meanwhile, the First Lady will also take part in religious engagements, including preaching at a service at Lambeth Palace and meeting representatives of the Church of England.

Nigeria and the United Kingdom continue to maintain strong diplomatic ties, reinforced by a strategic partnership agreement signed in 2024 aimed at expanding cooperation in areas such as economic development, migration, and security.

Normalcy Restored in Maiduguri After Deadly Bombings — Police

Authorities say normalcy has returned to Maiduguri following coordinated bomb explosions that rocked the city earlier this week.

The spokesman of the Borno State Police Command, Kenneth Daso, disclosed this during an appearance on The Morning Brief on Channels Television, noting that security agencies have intensified operations while investigations continue.

“Well, as of now, I would say in Borno State, normalcy has been restored,” Daso said, adding that joint security forces are actively carrying out security operations across affected areas.

Multiple Blasts Leave Dozens Injured

The bombings, suspected to have been carried out by suicide attackers, struck several locations across Maiduguri on Monday evening. Explosions were reported at a busy market, near the entrance of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, and around a post office area.

The attacks initially left at least 23 people dead, while more than 100 others sustained injuries, making it one of the most severe recent incidents in Borno State.

Witnesses said panic broke out after the first explosion at the market, with people rushing toward exits before a second blast occurred minutes later in the nearby post office area.

Tinubu Orders Security Chiefs to Maiduguri

In response to the attacks, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu directed Nigeria’s security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri to coordinate efforts and take charge of the situation.

Tinubu condemned the bombings, describing them as desperate attempts by terrorists to instill fear among Nigerians.

Police Chief Visits Victims

The Nigeria Police Force leadership has also stepped up its response to the attack. The Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, visited victims receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the bombing site.

Disu assured residents that the police and other security agencies remain committed to dismantling the networks responsible for the attacks and preventing future incidents.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum condemned the bombings as a reckless waste of human lives and pledged continued collaboration with the Federal Government to defeat terrorism across the country.

Tinubu Meets King Charles as Nigeria–UK Talks Focus on Trade and Port Renovations

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to meet King Charles III on Wednesday as part of Nigeria’s first state visit to the United Kingdom in nearly four decades.

The President and the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, arrived on Tuesday at Stansted Airport in London to begin the official engagements.

According to the visit’s schedule, the couple will first meet the Prince and Princess of Wales — Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales — before travelling to Windsor Castle.

King Charles will later host President Tinubu for a formal audience at the historic royal residence, followed by a state banquet in the evening.

Trade and Port Development on the Agenda

Discussions during the visit are expected to focus on strengthening economic cooperation between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

Key topics likely to be discussed include major renovation projects for Nigerian seaports supported by Britain and broader trade relations between the two countries.

Bilateral trade between Nigeria and the UK reached £8.1 billion in the year to September 2025, representing an 11.4% increase year-on-year, according to official figures.

The visit also builds on a strategic partnership agreement signed between Nigeria and the United Kingdom in November 2024 aimed at expanding cooperation in areas such as trade, migration, and security.

Further Meetings Planned

President Tinubu is also expected to meet Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and members of the Nigerian diaspora community during the visit.

The trip comes amid security concerns in Nigeria following deadly attacks in the north-east linked to the long-running insurgency that began in 2009.

According to reports, at least 23 people were killed in recent bombings in Maiduguri. In response, Tinubu directed Nigeria’s security chiefs to relocate to the city to coordinate operations.

The current visit marks the first Nigerian state visit to the UK since 1989, although King Charles had previously met Tinubu in September 2024 before ascending the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

CAF Awards AFCON 2025 Final Victory to Morocco After Senegal Forfeiture

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Appeal Board has ruled that Senegal national football team forfeited the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, awarding a 3–0 victory to Morocco national football team.

In an official statement, CAF said the decision was taken in line with Article 84 of the tournament regulations, which outlines disciplinary procedures and sanctions, including match forfeiture.

According to the ruling, Senegal was deemed to have forfeited the final match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025. As a result, the match has been officially recorded as a 3–0 win for the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF).

The decision effectively hands the final to Morocco, although CAF did not immediately provide detailed information about the circumstances that led to the forfeiture.

CAF’s Appeal Board serves as the highest decision-making body for disputes within African football competitions, and its rulings are binding under the organisation’s regulatory framework.

The development marks a rare situation in continental football, as forfeitures in major finals such as the Africa Cup of Nations are uncommon and often carry significant consequences for the teams involved.

Further clarification from the Confederation of African Football is expected as reactions continue to emerge from stakeholders across the African football community. ⚽

Arsenal Reach Quarter-Finals as Chelsea and Man City Exit Champions League

Arsenal FC advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League after a confident 2–0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen at the Emirates Stadium, sealing a 3–1 aggregate win.

Eberechi Eze opened the scoring with a brilliant first-half strike after controlling a pass from Leandro Trossard before firing into the top corner.

After the break, Declan Rice doubled Arsenal’s lead with another impressive finish, driving forward and curling a precise shot into the corner. Despite late pressure from Leverkusen, including a chance denied by goalkeeper David Raya, the team managed by Mikel Arteta held firm to secure progression.

Arsenal will now face Sporting CP in the quarter-finals.

Chelsea Suffer Heavy Defeat

It was a difficult night for Chelsea FC, who crashed out of the tournament after a 3–0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, completing an 8–2 aggregate loss.

PSG took the lead through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after a defensive error from Mamadou Sarr. Another mistake from Moises Caicedo allowed Achraf Hakimi to set up Bradley Barcola for the second goal.

Senny Mayulu added a third goal to seal the victory for the French champions.

Chelsea’s situation worsened when Trevoh Chalobah was forced off with injury late in the match after all substitutions had been used, leaving the team to finish with ten players.

Real Madrid Eliminate Manchester City

Manchester City also exited the competition after losing 2–1 at home to Real Madrid, resulting in a 5–1 aggregate defeat.

City’s hopes were severely damaged when captain Bernardo Silva was sent off for handling a goal-bound shot from Vinícius Júnior, leading to a penalty that the Brazilian converted.

Although Erling Haaland briefly equalised before halftime, City were repeatedly denied by goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin.

Vinícius eventually sealed the victory for Real Madrid in added time, sending the Spanish giants into the next round while ending City’s Champions League campaign.

The night’s results highlight the unpredictable nature of Champions League football, with Arsenal FC advancing while two other English clubs bowed out of the competition. ⚽
