Latest Super Eagles News LIVE:

Victor Osimhen Set to Face Barcelona

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be in action tonight as Galatasaray lock horns with Barcelona in their second game of the UEFA Champions League.

He faces a very tough test, as Barcelona are arguably the best team in the world at the moment and have won nine games on the bounce.

Nonetheless, Osimhen is a potent striker, and if the other attackers like Rafael Leao and Leroy Sane are in their element, they could hurt Barcelona. Even coach Hansi Flick spoke about it in the pre-match presser.

​”We expect Galatasaray to play their game, they have great offensive players, but we have to adapt. It’s always like that in every game, there is something special that we have to do,” Flick said.

​”We don’t approach every game the same way, we are adaptable to the opponent and know what is necessary.”

It promises to be an enthralling clash at Rams Park.

What Diego Simeone Said About Ademola Lookman Ahead of Manchester United

Atletico Madrid take on English giants Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League tonight in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.

Of course, Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman is expected to be part of the action. But whether he will start is the big question.

Lookman has struggled with his form this season, and that has seen Alex Baena go just ahead of him in the pecking order.

Ahead of Today’s fixture, Atletico Madrid boss Simeone spoke about Lookman, and although he admitted that the 28-year-old is not performing at his best level, the Argentine tactician is positive that there will be an improvement soon.

Super Falcons Set For Action

The Super Falcons will fly out once again today. This time, they have a game against Comoros in the second leg of the CAF Olympics qualifier.

Nigeria already hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, and they will be targeting an even bigger win in this second leg at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne. Sealing the win will set them up for a date with Morocco in the penultimate round of qualifiers later next year.
