In light of this, Soccernet.ng will spotlight seven players and the new opponents their team will face in the quarterfinals.

Victor Osimhen (SSC Napoli)

The Super Eagles star, Osimhen, has been crucial in his team’s progress in the Champions League. As they’ve crashed out Eintracht Frankfurt in the round-of-16 on 5-nil aggregate, the Parthenopeans have been placed to face their Serie A rivals, AC Milan.

On April 12, 2023, the Gli Azzurri will go to face the Red and Blacks in the opening leg of their doubleheader match, and there will be fireworks at the San Siro Stadium.

Victor Boniface (Royale Union Saint Gilloise)

Victor Boniface has been terrific for Royale Union Saint Gilloise as they advanced to the quarter-finals, scoring 5 goals and dishing out an assist in 8 Europa League matches.

After his team’s first leg of their doubleheader at the Stadion a der Alten Försterei, the former Bodo/Glimt player beat other European stars to win Player of the Week.

On April 13, 2023, the Nigerian attacker will attempt to guide his team to victory as they take on Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their double-header match.
