UCL: Calvin Bassey and Victor Osimhen collide as Ajax draw Napoli, Liverpool and Rangers.

Bassey signed up for Champions League football this season after joining Ajax. At the same time, Osimhen will return to the competition after his 14 goals helped Napoli finish in the top four in the Italian Serie A last season.

Both players will clash across two legs, while they will also come up against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the same group.
