Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr is banking on Ahmed Musa to step up to the plate again when they take on Argentina in their final Group D clash on Tuesday.
However, Rohr was quick to downplay comparisons between the Leicester City forward and Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, ahead of the make-or-mar encounter.
“Musa is not Lionel Messi yet,” the German told kicker.
“Somebody said ‘Lionel Musa’ yesterday, but he’s not there yet. I hope he can do it one day.”
Musa scored twice, as Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 at Volgograd Arena on Friday evening.
The 25-year-old also scored twice against Argentina in the 2014 World Cup, although the Eagles lost 3-2.
