A recent study by GreenHunters Sports International shows that about 50 million football fans in Nigeria are likely to see the UEFA Chanmpions league finals between Juventus Vs Barcelona at the Olympiad stadium Berlin Germany come Saturday 6.

72% will be watching from Sport Bars or Viewing Centers; while 21% will be watching from their homes; other 4% will be watching on their Devices while on the go - that's how big the match is.

It's the major discussion among fans, apart from the ongoing FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand, which Flying Eagles are part of. The fans rooting for either Juventus or Barcelona have been truly dispassionate.
