Nigerian football fans have plenty to look forward to as Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman prepare for important UEFA Champions League assignments on Tuesday.
Osimhen’s Galatasaray will host German side VfB Stuttgart, with the Super Eagles striker hoping to continue his impressive scoring run.
The Nigerian forward has scored 10 goals in 10 competitive appearances this season. His latest goal came in Galatasaray’s 4-0 victory over Konyaspor, and he will be determined to carry that confidence into Europe.
However, Galatasaray need a strong result after losing their opening two Champions League matches against Sporting CP and Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Lookman’s Atlético Madrid face a difficult test against Bayern Munich at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atlético have been in impressive domestic form, but Bayern will provide a serious examination of their European ambitions. Lookman will hope to make an impact, although reports suggest he could begin the match on the bench.
Other Nigerians expected to attract attention include Moses Usor, whose LASK side face Slovan Bratislava, and Christian Nwachukwu, who could feature for Sabah against Viking.
It promises to be an exciting European night, with Nigerian players hoping to make their presence felt on one of football’s biggest stages.
