Osimhen sends strong warning to Liverpool ahead of UCL showdown

Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor James Osimhen has sent a strong note of warning to Liverpool ahead of their UEFA Champions League showdown tomorrow, Afrik Foot reports.

The 27-year-old was on the scoresheet when both sides met during the group phase back in September, scoring the only goal of the game from 12 yards at RAMS Park.

The first leg is set to be played in front of the Galatasaray crowd before an away trip to Anfield next week.

Osimhen sends strong note of warning to Liverpool

The former Napoli striker was on target in Galatasaray’s 1-0 win against Besiktas on Saturday, and immediately mentioned that the team’s next aim is to knock Arne Slot’s side out of Europe’s most primed competition.

“I’m following my coach’s instructions. There were team-mates who excited and motivated me,” the 2023 CAF Player of the Year said in quotes revealed by Express Star.

“After the goal, they called me back to defence. I love this club very much. I’m proud of my team.

“We’re showing unity. We need to take it game by game. This win will give us strength. We need to keep our feet on the ground.

“Liverpool are a very big team. We’ll be playing at home. If we are careful, we can do well, even if it’s not easy. All matches in the Champions League are tough. We will fight to do well,” Victor Osimhen concluded.

Galatasaray are flying domestically. Okan Buruk’s men are currently top of the Turkish Super Lig, four points above Fenerbahce.
