The quarterfinal draws for the three UEFA club competitions-Champions League, Europa League, and the Conference League will be conducted in Nyon on Friday 17 June by noon and in the draws will be some clubs which boast in-form forwards.
Three goals in as many minutes was all it took for Nigerian forward Gift Orban to announce his arrival in UEFA competitions on Thursday. The 20-year-old Nigerian joined Belgian side Gent on January 31, 2023, but has already scored 12 goals in just nine games across the league and the UEFA Conference League.
Orban led Gent with a three-minute hat trick to a 4-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir on Thursday as the Belgian side booked their spot in the quarterfinal draw.
