Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has shared his thoughts on Galatasaray’s thrilling encounter with Juventus.
Okan Buruk’s side fell 3-2 on the night to the Italian giants but progressed 7-5 on aggregate to the Champions League Round of 16.
Osimhen, who opened the scoring for Galatasaray and was named Man of the Match, acknowledged the challenges posed by Juventus throughout the contest.
“This match was disappointing from the start. Congratulations to Juventus, they really pushed us hard,” Osimhen told the club’s official website.
“We knew this was a tough pitch. Even with 10 men, they pushed hard and scored two goals. I’m happy with my goal and what I did. We know we have a lot to work on. Juventus deserved to win, but we deserved to advance to the next round.”
The Nigeria international also highlighted the crucial role of the Galatasaray supporters.
“Even in the most difficult moments, the fans were with us. Galatasaray fans deserve this happiness to the fullest,” Osimhen said.
“Even when we were behind, they never stopped supporting us. We can say that we advanced to the next round thanks to them. We will continue to work. We need their support very much. We have a long way to go, but we are sure that they will be with us every step of the way.”
