Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface has been voted as one of the worst Bundesliga players by his colleagues
A challenging season for Super Eagles star Victor Boniface has only gotten worse after the Nigerian star was voted as one of the biggest flops of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season.
Boniface, whose season was derailed by injuries and a failed move to Saudi Arabia, was not spared by his Bundesliga colleagues in a brutal end-of-season vote.
Boniface’s Bundesliga woes
The Nigerian striker came into the 2024/25 season riding high off a sensational first campaign with Bayer Leverkusen, where he racked up 21 goals and 9 assists.
)
But this season, the magic seemed to fade. Injuries limited him to just 12 starts in the Bundesliga, and his form dipped significantly.
He managed only 11 goals and a single assist across all competitions, a sharp contrast from the fireworks he delivered the year before. Making matters worse, Patrick Schick’s rise in form at Bayer Leverkusen pushed Boniface even further down the pecking order.
)
Boniface’s attempt to engineer a move to Saudi Arabia during the winter break also did not sit well with many fans, or apparently, his Bundesliga peers.
Palhinha voted worst player, Boniface not far behind
In a survey conducted by kicker, 216 players from Germany’s top flight anonymously voted on the league’s biggest letdowns of the season.
)
Former Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha topped the flop list after a disappointing debut season with Bayern Munich, gathering 13.4% of the votes.
German midfielder Julian Brandt followed with 10.2% after a quiet campaign with a struggling Borussia Dortmund side.
)
Boniface rounded out the top three with 6.9% of the vote, making him the third biggest flop in the Bundesliga season, which was reflective of just how far his stock has fallen in just one year.
