UEFA Champions League 2020: The Year of the Underdogs
By Kolade Sodiq

It has been five months since the UEFA Champions League 2020 was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic but the action is set to resume tonight. There has been quite a number of changes within that period as football had to adapt to some unusual changes enforced by COVID-19.

Apart from the fact that the second leg of Round 16 would be played in early August; a time when pre-season football used to be played, teams will also have to play without fans. Among other things, UEFA also tweaked the competition to involve a single game per round instead of the usual two-legged tie. These, among many other reasons, are why this season's UCL is dubbed "The season of the Underdogs".

No longer will inexperienced players have to crumble under the pressure of playing in front of thousands of fans in the greatest club competition. Players like Ronaldo, Ramos, and Messi have succeeded in this competition several times over. However, we have seen Manchester City, PSG, and Atletico Madrid's players crumble time and again when it mattered most. With just one leg of football to contend with and no opposition fans to get in their heads, there is no better time for these teams to win the trophy they crave the most.

The undisputed favourite of this competition is Bayern Munich. With the Bundesliga and the German Cup in the bag, and with arguably the best player of 2019/2020 season in Robert Lewandowski, the German team are better placed than any other team. Bayern plays the second leg of round 16 against Chelsea at the Allianz Arena tomorrow after winning 3-0 away from home. Having scored 11 goals in the competition already, Lewandowski would look to add to his tally as he chases Ronaldo's record of 17 goals in a single UCL campaign. He would also look to win the UCL for the first time in his illustrious career.

Manchester City has had an underwhelming campaign so far. The team has failed to defend the Premier League and the FA Cup this season despite winning the Carabao Cup in February. City's star-studded team are now presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to win the UCL this season with several top teams underperforming and last season's defending champions out of the competition. However, they have to overcome a Ramos-less Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium today. Pep Guardiola's men will know that they might never be presented with a better opportunity than this season. They know they won't have to contend with the pressure of both their fans and the opposition's as they face their opponents. They might just be the team that is most suited to this new normal.

Lagos lawmakers were filled with sadness on Tuesday, July 21, as they gathered for a Valedictory Session for their late colleague, Hon. Tunde Braimoh.

Hon. Braimoh, who represented Kosofe Constituency 2 in the Assembly, died recently after a brief illness after impacting positively on the lives of many colleagues and strangers alike.

At the Valedictory Session, many of his colleagues called him a rare legislator, whose death would be greatly missed by all.

Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Assembly, said that it is the belief of Muslims that everyone is destined to die when his time comes. However, he revealed that he had not yet come to terms with Hon. Braimoh's death.

He said, "I have lost one of the most resourceful members that I depended on for advice, who was always willing to offer his advice at every given opportunity. He had never disappointed me. He never had no for an answer and he had a ready answer to any question. He was a man with uncommon intelligence and political sagacity and a man of honour."

Hon. Obasa added, "He was a respecter of constituted authority. He has made his impact and contributed to the growth of Kosofe and his vacuum cannot be filled in the next decade. We have lost a formidable member of rare quality in the late Hon. Tunde Braimoh. We have lost a very valuable member, who was outstanding as a lawmaker. We will miss his insightful and intelligent contributions to issues on the floor of the chamber. We recall his sharp wits and words. I will miss his cheerfulness and his closeness to everybody"

According to the Speaker, Hon. Braimoh was a philanthropist per excellence and that he would be missed by the people that had come across him over the years. He then urged lawmakers to use their positions to serve humanity, adding that a day would come when people would talk about them.

While pointing out that Hon. Braimoh's death was irreparable to the assembly, he offered his condolences to the late lawmaker's wife and children who he believes will feel the loss more. He prayed that God would give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Hon Obasa then directed the Clerk of the House, Mr. Azeez Sanni, to write the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) about the death of Hon. Tunde Braimoh.
