Several Burkinabe players will feature prominently as the 2024-2025 Champions League enters its sixth matchday. Edmond Tapsoba and Lassina Traoré are among the Burkinabe internationals to watch as their respective clubs compete in crucial fixtures tonight.
Edmond Tapsoba, a key defender for Bayer Leverkusen, will play an integral role when his team hosts Inter Milan in Germany.
The match, set for 20:00 GMT, is vital for both sides, with Bayer Leverkusen currently sitting in 6th place and Inter Milan in 2nd.
Tapsoba, known for his commanding presence at the back, is expected to start for the German club, playing a pivotal part in their defensive setup.
Meanwhile, at the same time (20:00 GMT), Franck Lassina Traoré’s Shakhtar Donetsk will face Bayern Munich in a crucial encounter.
Shakhtar Donetsk sits in 26th place in the group standings, while Bayern Munich occupies 13th.
Although Traoré found the back of the net last weekend, his starting position remains uncertain, and it is likely that the Burkinabe striker will begin the match on the bench.
Both players have been in fine form for their respective clubs, and tonight’s matches will be pivotal in their quest for progression in the prestigious competition.
Fans of the Burkinabe internationals will be eagerly watching their performances, hoping to see further contributions in the Champions League’s high-stakes encounters.
