Originally, FC Barcelona fans were supposed to be mourning the unfortunate injury that befell their starting striker in Robert Lewandowski, but the frenzy caused by Sam's performance overshadowed Lewandowski's injury.
The game was simply that good, it was an unforgettable UEFA champions league debut for the young Nigerian.
It was an almost perfect display.
During the 26 minutes that Lewandowski was on the pitch, as an attacking midfielder, Sam had a good game but from just a good game, his game transformed into an unbelievable one after taking on the false 9 role.
