The UEFA Champions League resumed on Tuesday, with action across several centers in Europe.
Day one of the sixth matchday featured a good number of interesting fixtures, and they all provided the expected excitement.
Several Nigerian players were in action for their various clubs. In this article, we’ll review the performances of the players who featured.
Ademola Lookman (Atalanta 1-0 Chelsea)
Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman was in action for Atalanta on Tuesday. He played all 90 minutes as La Dea defeated Chelsea at the Gewiss Stadium.
The former Everton man had a very good game for Atalanta, registering three shots, 54 touches, an 83% pass accuracy, and three ball recoveries.
Lookman was very lively and was a thorn in the side of the Chelsea players. Although he did not score, he had a solid performance.
Victor Osimhen (Monaco 1-0 Galatasaray)
After missing the 1-0 defeat against Royale Union SG last time out, Victor Osimhen returned to action against Monaco at Stade Louis II.
His presence was supposed to be a big boost for the Cimbom, but he could not deliver for his side on the night.
Galatasaray dominated the first half, but Monaco grew into the game in the second half and scored in the 68th minute, courtesy of Folarin Balogun. That goal was just enough to guarantee the home side the win.
