UCL: Bassey, Onyedika face tough test

Two Super Eagles stars, Calvin Bassey and Raphael Onyedika face a daunting prospect ahead of tonight's UEFA Champions League round of matches.

Calvin Bassey's Ajax will take on Victor Osimhen's Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples on the back of suffering a humiliating 6-1 defeat to the Serie A leaders at home in the first leg.

The 22-year-old became the subject of much criticism from fans and some Ajax legends following last week's drubbing.

The tall order will get taller for Bassey and the entire Ajax team with Napoli's talisman, Victor Osimhen returning to action.

Ajax will be walking on a tightrope as any results aside from a win will dent their hopes of securing qualification to the knockout stages.

Elsewhere in the Spanish capital, high-flying Raphael Onyedika and his Club Brugge side will come up against Diego Simeone's Athletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.

The Belgium Pro League side put two unanswered goals past the former Spanish champions in the first leg courtesy of goals from Ferran Jutgla and Ghanaian international Kamal Sowah.

Club Brugge have so far won all three of their group games but the question many are asking is that can Raphael Onyedika's side pass tonight's test at Athletico?
