Following the draw for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League league phase, Ghanaian duo Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mohammed Fuseini are set to go head-to-head in what promises to be one of the most exciting fixtures of the tournament.
The highly anticipated clash will see Atalanta face Union Saint-Gilloise, who are making their historic debut in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
For Atalanta, Kamaldeen Sulemana, a summer signing from Southampton, will be a key figure. The pacey forward is expected to use his speed, flair, and creativity to dictate the tempo and provide a spark in attack. There is also plenty of Ghanaian interest in Atalanta’s campaign, with Ibrahim Sulemana also in the squad. The Italians face a daunting group that includes defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Athletic Bilbao, led by another Ghana star, Iñaki Williams.
On the other side, Mohammed Fuseini will spearhead Union Saint-Gilloise’s frontline. The young striker, known for his blistering pace and clinical finishing, will be hoping to make a statement against Europe’s elite. But the Belgian side face a stern challenge in their maiden Champions League journey, drawn against heavyweights Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Atalanta, Newcastle United, and Galatasaray.
With both Sulemana and Fuseini eager to shine on the biggest stage, their meeting promises to be a thrilling battle, not just for their clubs, but also for Ghanaian football fans watching proudly from afar.
