Spalletti Plans to Contain Osimhen in UCL Clash

17 Feb 2026

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has revealed his plans to stop Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Galatasaray. The first leg of the playoff tie is set to take place at Ram Park on Tuesday night.

Osimhen has been impressive this season, scoring six goals in six matches. Spalletti, who previously worked with Osimhen during his time at Napoli, emphasized the need for a strategic approach to contain the talented forward.

He mentioned that partnering Osimhen with Mauro Icardi could be an extraordinary talent solution to keep him away from ball possession. Spalletti acknowledged the quality of Galatasaray, which will pose a significant challenge for Juventus.

The return leg of the playoff will be held in Turin next Wednesday.
