Osimhen, Bassey to clash in Champions League

summer transfer

Brothers will go to war against each other in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) as Victor Osimhen and Calvin Bassey will face each other when Napoli and Ajax compete alongside Liverpool and Rangers in the group stage of the lucrative European league.

Osimhen and Bassey will be making their debut for Napoli and Ajax in the UCL with the hope of playing in the knockout stage while former UCL Champions Barcelona and Bayern Munich square up again this year in the group stage of the tournament.

One of Bayern, Barcelona, and Inter, meanwhile, will exit at the group stage after all three were drawn together alongside Viktoria Plzen in Group C.

Last season’s runners-up in the Champions League and Europa League respectively, Liverpool and Rangers are joined in a tough-looking Group A by four-times winners Ajax as well as Napoli, who are unbeaten at home in their last two group-stage campaigns.

Scottish champions Celtic will face reigning champions Real Madrid. Celtic were drawn into Group F with Carlo Ancelotti’s holders as well as RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Premier League champions Manchester City will face Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, and FC Copenhagen in Group G, while 2020/21 champions Chelsea are in Group E with Italian champions AC Milan, Red Bull Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb.

Tottenham drew Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt, inaugural Champions League winners Marseille, and 10th -time entrants Sporting CP in Group D.
