Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, has urged his Galatasaray teammates to remain focused and perform at their peak ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff against Juventus.
The Turkish Super Lig champions secured a commanding 5-2 victory over the Italian giants in the first leg at RAMs Park on Tuesday.
The two sides are set to meet again next Wednesday in Turin.
Osimhen Wary of Juventus
Osimhen emphasized the importance of maintaining intensity in the return fixture.
“I mean, we all know why I took the ball. 3-2 is not enough against this kind of team,” Osimhen told Forza Cimbom.
“The way I see it, they are Italian teams. This is Juventus, one of the best teams in the world. They are capable of surprises, they’ve got the qualities.
“To make them weaker, you have to score more goals to make the game balanced. Also, because there’s a second leg to play in Turin next week, for me, it’s important to carry the ball and try to psyche my teammates to make sure we get more goals.
“I think that works, and everyone showed up. I’m really happy about this performance, and it’s one of the best from us in the Champions League.
“We really did well and deserved the win, but that doesn’t take anything away from Juventus, who are a great side. We also have to show up in Turin.”
