Nigeria's Salisu Yusuf reveals mission for Atletico Madrid tie

Salisu Yusuf is 'looking forward to winning' as his Nigeria B side confront Atletico Madrid in Tuesday's hybrid friendly at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.

The Super Eagles B gaffer has invited 23 players - seven foreign-based and 16 from Nigeria top-flight teams - for the high-profile encounter with the new Europa League kings.

While craving for victory over Diego Simeone's side, the tactician expects his players to give a good account of themselves.
