Olanrewaju reacts to Rangers' CAF Champions League exit

Rangers has been eliminated from the CAF Champions League after a 3-0 loss to MC Alger in the second leg of their second preliminary round tie. The Nigerian club, now trailing 3-2 on aggregate, failed to capitalize on their 2-0 lead from the first leg. Olanrewaju Yemi Daniel, the assistant coach of Rivers United, had previously cautioned about the difficulties faced by Nigerian teams in continental competitions, but his comments were dismissed as excuses.

Daniel, who has competed in the CAF circuit for the past four seasons, emphasized the significant gap in resources between Nigerian and North African clubs. Despite his team's efforts, the disparity proved insurmountable.
