Following the completion of the draw, the league phase is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
Last season, Lookman played a key role in Atletico Madrid’s run to the semi-finals before they were eliminated by eventual English champions Arsenal. Osimhen, meanwhile, could not lead Galatasaray beyond the round of 16 after suffering a heavy defeat to Liverpool.
The two Nigerian forwards will now face a demanding European campaign as they look to guide their respective clubs deep into the competition.
