Osimhen's Galatasaray Faces Lille in Crucial Clash
Victor Osimhen will play against his former club, LOSC Lille, when Galatasaray faces the French side in matchday three of the 2026/27 group stage. Osimhen spent the 2019/20 season at Lille before moving to Galatasaray.
The Turkish champions are in a challenging position after losing their first two matches in the group, including a 3-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon and a 4-1 loss to FC. A third consecutive defeat could jeopardize their chances of advancing in the Champions League.
Historically, Galatasaray has struggled against French teams, with a record of seven wins, five draws, and ten losses in 22 matches. This match will mark Galatasaray's 343rd European fixture and their 115th different opponent.
For Osimhen, this match holds personal significance due to his past with Lille, but the priority for Galatasaray remains securing three points to avoid an early exit from the tournament.
