Olympiacos defender Bruno Onyemaechi has expressed his eagerness to make his UEFA Champions League debut in the upcoming 2025/26 season, describing it as "a very big season" in his career.
The 26-year-old Nigerian left-back, who joined the Greek champions from Portuguese club Boavista in January, is looking forward to testing himself at Europe's highest club competition level.
"It's a very big season cause I'll be playing in the Champions League for the first time. I'm looking forward to this, I hope I'm prepared for it and I hope I'm injury free also," Onyemaechi told reporters in a recent interview.
Impressive Start at Olympiacos
Since his winter transfer to Olympiacos, Onyemaechi has quickly established himself as a valuable addition to the squad. He featured in nine league matches and provided one assist as Olympiacos secured the Greek league title.
The defender's contribution extended beyond league play, as he also made an appearance in the Greek Cup final victory over OFI Crete, helping his team secure a domestic double in his debut half-season.
Olympiacos' league triumph has earned them direct qualification to the prestigious UEFA Champions League, providing Onyemaechi with the opportunity to showcase his talents on European football's biggest stage.
Rising Nigerian Talent
Onyemaechi's rise to Champions League football represents another milestone for Nigerian talent in European football. His journey from Boavista to becoming a champion with Olympiacos highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players across European leagues.
The defender will be hoping to use the Champions League platform to further enhance his reputation and potentially catch the attention of national team selectors as he continues his development at the highest level of club football.
For Olympiacos, having players like Onyemaechi will be crucial as they prepare to compete against Europe's elite clubs in the 2025/26 Champions League campaign.
