Osimhen seals Galatasaray's 7-5 win over Juve with extra-time goal
Victor Osimhen scored in extra time to help Galatasaray eliminate Juventus 7-5 on aggregate, securing a dramatic UEFA Champions League playoff victory. Despite a 3-2 defeat in Turin, the Turkish champions progressed thanks to Osimhen's decisive 106th-minute strike, which took him to 13 European goals for the club and made him their most prolific foreign scorer. The Super Eagles striker acknowledged the achievement but admitted the team's performance left room for improvement, stating 'I think we have a lot to improve on if we are to go into the next round and play the big dogs.' Osimhen also revealed he prepared his teammates for the challenge of playing in Turin, noting some were 'kind of timid' despite his motivational efforts. Looking ahead to a potential Round of 16 clash against Liverpool or Tottenham, Osimhen expressed willingness to face Liverpool as 'some sort of revenge' but emphasized the challenge would be tough regardless.
