Super Eagles have saluted winger Samuel Chukwueze following his goal against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie.

Villarreal knocked Bayern Munich out of the Champions League after holding the Bavarians to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night.

The Yellow Submarine scaled through to the semi-finals 2-1 on aggregate.

Robert Lewandowski gave Bayern Munich the lead in the 52nd minute, before Chukwueze came from the bench to score a late equaliser.

The Super Eagles took to Twitter to salute the 22 year old following his heroics.

“Celebrating our own @chukwueze_8 just as we celebrate all our stars for their patriotism and commitment always. Reassuring our supporters across the world that we will soar again. #SoarSuperEagles.
