Osimhen Cautions Galatasaray on Barcelona's Quality Ahead of UCL
Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, warned Galatasaray not to underestimate Barcelona ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday. He described Barcelona as a team filled with quality players and stressed the importance of preparation for a tough match.
Osimhen expressed happiness about the opportunity to face Barcelona, stating it would benefit both the team and individual players. He recently returned from a groin injury and contributed to Galatasaray's 3-1 victory over Kasımpaşa on September 9, where he assisted Mario Lemina's goal in stoppage time.
In that match, Galatasaray played with 10 men after Lucas Torreira's red card. Osimhen has previous experience against Barcelona from his time at Napoli, where he scored in a 1-1 draw during the 2024 Champions League round-of-16 tie, although Napoli was eliminated after losing the return leg 3-1.
Galatasaray is looking to recover from a 3-1 defeat to Sporting CP in their opening Champions League fixture.
