UCL Draw: Osimhen to Face PSG, Barcelona as Man United, Bayern Renew Rivalry

Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen, will lead his Galatasaray team to matches against Paris Saint-Germain, UCL holders, and Barcelona in the group league phase of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League.

The draw, on Thursday, handled by legendary strikers Thierry Henry and David Villa, provides Osimhen the opportunity to cement his reputation as arguably one of the best strikers in Europe.

He previously led the Turkish champions to victory against Liverpool last season in the group phase.

The former Napoli striker scored seven goals in the UCL last season, and would be expected to surpass the height this season.

Other interesting matches include the duel between defending champions Paris Saint Germain and a rejuvenated Barcelona.

Manchester City will also face both clubs, while Arsenal will welcome Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid to Emirates stadium.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich will also renew their age-long rivalry in a repeat of the legendary 1999 UCL final Man United won with two goals in added time.

The league-phase will begin on Tuesday, September 8, while the final round of group matches will held across Europe on January 27 next year.
