Osimhen Aims for Liverpool in UCL Round of 16 Clash

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen stated in a post-match interview that he is eager to meet Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. His team, Galatasaray, secured qualification for the knockout stage for the first time in 12 years after a crucial victory.

Osimhen scored a first-half penalty that contributed to this achievement. He reflected on the challenge of facing Liverpool, who previously defeated Galatasaray 1-0 in Istanbul during the group stage, and expressed a desire for revenge.

Despite the qualification, Osimhen criticized his team's performance, particularly after they lost three goals in the first leg against Juventus and were visibly frustrated after the second leg. He shared a light moment with Thierry Henry during the interview, expressing relief at Galatasaray's qualification despite their lackluster performance.

The team will learn their Round of 16 opponent, either Tottenham or Liverpool, on Friday, February 27.
