Osimhen Warns Liverpool Ahead of Champions League Draw

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker for Galatasaray, conveyed a strong message regarding the upcoming UEFA Champions League knockout stage draw scheduled for February 27, 2026. He stated that Galatasaray is prepared to face any team, although he hinted at a preference to avoid Liverpool, a team they previously faced in the league phase, where they secured a narrow 1-0 victory in Istanbul, with Osimhen scoring the decisive goal.

He acknowledged that a trip to Anfield would present a completely different challenge, emphasizing that the knockout stage is not straightforward. Osimhen's comments reflect the team's confidence and readiness as they await their potential opponents, which include Liverpool and Tottenham, both of whom are capable of testing the Turkish champions.
