Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey and his Arsenal teammates are getting ready for an exciting match against Dutch team PSV Eindhoven in the knockout stage of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League. Arsenal hopes to win their first-ever European title.
Partey, one of only two Ghanaians left in the competition, wants to make a big impact as Mikel Arteta’s team aims for success. His experience in the midfield is important, although injuries have limited his playing time this season.
As he approaches the final months of his contract with Arsenal, which ends this summer, Partey is motivated to help the team win the Champions League trophy.
Arsenal last faced PSV in the group stage, winning 4-0 at home but losing 1-0 away. This upcoming knockout round is a chance for revenge and a critical step towards their European goals.
The first leg is scheduled for March 4-5, and the return match will be on March 11-12. If Arsenal wins, they will meet the winner of the Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid match in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Osman and his Feyenoord team are preparing for a tough challenge against Italian club Inter Milan in the round of 16. They recently eliminated AC Milan in the playoffs and are eager to face another strong Serie A team.
Osman, who is on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, has played six Champions League matches for Feyenoord. However, his role in the knockout stage is unclear, as he only played 11 minutes in the first leg against Milan and did not play in the second leg.
Feyenoord hopes to rely on their strong form and determination to upset the last two season’s finalists. Osman is keen to help his team secure a spot in the quarter-finals. The first leg of this crucial match is also set for March 4-5, with the return fixture on March 11-12. Exciting times are ahead for these talented Ghanaians as they pursue European glory.
