Osimhen to Face PSG, Barcelona in UCL Draw
The UEFA Champions League draw held on Thursday featured legendary strikers Thierry Henry and David Villa, setting the stage for Victor Osimhen to compete against Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona. Osimhen, who previously led the Turkish champions to victory against Liverpool in the group phase last season, scored seven goals in the Champions League and is expected to surpass that tally this season.
Other notable matches include defending champions Paris Saint Germain facing Barcelona, while Manchester City will also compete against both teams. Arsenal will host Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium.
Additionally, Manchester United will renew their historic rivalry with Bayern Munich, reminiscent of the 1999 UCL final that Manchester United won with two goals in added time. The league phase is set to commence on Tuesday, September 8, with the final round of group matches scheduled for January 27 next year.
