In the second evening of the 4th day of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, several African internationals are expected to be in action:
Dortmund vs. Arsenal: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is yet to score his first Champions League goal, and fans are eagerly waiting for him to make an impact. His entry into play in the first leg proved to be decisive.
Naples vs. Marseille: Olympique de Marseille faces a tough situation, and African players like Alaixys Romao, Andre and Jordan Ayew, Diawara, and Nkoulou will be under scrutiny to see if they can make a difference in the game.
Chelsea vs. Schalke 04: With Fernando Torres injured, Samuel Eto’o is expected to take the spotlight for Chelsea. Demba Ba, not called up for the national team, may also get some playing time. Other Africans like Obi Mikel and Michael Essien could benefit from the changes announced by Mourinho. On the Schalke 04 side, Prince Boateng and Joel Matip are expected to lead the attack.
FC Basel vs. Steaua Bucharest: Serey Die, Mohamed Salah, Mohamed El Nenny, and Giovanni Sio will be key players for FC Basel.
Barcelona vs. Milan: Tata Martino’s rotation policy may give Alexandre Song an opportunity to shine for Barcelona. Kevin Constant from Guinea and Suley Muntari from Ghana are crucial players for AC Milan.
These matches promise to be exciting, and African fans will be keenly watching their favorite players in action.
