Galatasaray did a good a job

Speaking after the fixture, the Super Eagle told Galatasaray website; “Of course, I missed everyone, especially the fans, very much. We knew before the match that we would be playing against a strong opponent.

“I congratulate my teammates for their fight throughout the 90 minutes; we did a good job against a great opponent. The match was 50-50. We had chances to finish the game in some moments. I’m happy with our performance.”

The Turkish giants will next travel to face Man City, and discussing the game, he said: “Manchester City is one of the best teams in the world. We’ll take it one game at a time.

“We’ll focus on the league first, then on that game. It won’t be easy, but I trust my team. I’m looking at it positively. We can get something out of it. The most important thing is to have a good game, like we did against Atletico.”

In the Champions League, Osimhen has featured five times, scoring six goals, but he is yet to provide an assist.
