Victor Osimhen, the talented forward, has secured a spot in Napoli’s starting lineup for the much-anticipated UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona. The fixture, which marks the Round of 16 first leg, is set to take place at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Osimhen’s inclusion comes after his return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he showcased his football prowess.
Joining Osimhen in Napoli’s trident attack are Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano. The Italian club is currently managed by Francesco Calzona, who assumed the position after the dismissal of Walter Mazzarri earlier this week.
Looking ahead, the second leg of this thrilling encounter will unfold at Camp Nou on March 12. It’s worth noting that the away goals rule no longer applies in UEFA competitions, adding an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming clash.
