Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, leads the list of players with the most shots taken in the UEFA Champions League this season after two group games played, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

According to the statistical website, Whoscored.com, Osimhen has recorded 13 shots in the competition so far and he is yet to score for Napoli in their games against Sporting Braga and Real Madrid.

Haaland is second on the list with 12 shots attempted without registering a goal.

Osimhen and Haaland are two of the leading strikers in Europe currently and it is surprising to see them top this chart.

Last season, Osimhen scored five goals in six Champions League games but is yet to find the back of the net this campaign with his only goal contribution being an assist he recorded in Napoli’s 2-1 win over Braga.

Haaland was the top scorer of the competition last season with 12 goals but has not been able to get off the mark this campaign.

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
