Sparta Prague striker Victor Olatunji has expressed optimism and excitement ahead of the club’s last two UEFA Champions League group games of the season.
The Iron Sparta face Italian champions Inter Milan on Wednesday at the Stadion Letna, before traveling to Germany to for a clash against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen next week, and despite the quality and strength of their opponents, the Super Eagles striker is confident of a result from both games.
“The game will be tough. The Champions League is not easy; it’s a great league. Playing against the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, where Victor Boniface is, will be special.
Two Victors from the same country playing against each other—these are the kind of games I love to play in to prove myself. It will be a great match for us”, the Nigerian striker said.
The Super Eagles forward has been a consistent performer this season with 10 goals and 2 assists, including two in the UEFA Champions League against Salzburg and Stade Brest.
“Playing in the Champions League feels incredible. It’s a competition where you face top clubs and players. The pressure, the atmosphere—I love everything about it. Reaching this point hasn’t been easy; it’s taken a lot of dedication and hard work. I’m very happy and grateful to be part of this tournament”, he added.
