Karim Adeyemi Speaks on Osimhen and Beating Galatasaray

Barcelona attacker Karim Adeyemi has expressed his delight with his side’s 4-1 victory over Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The striker got off the bench to score the fourth for his side to ensure that the Catalans left Istanbul with a win.

Adeyemi is of Nigerian origin, and after the game, he spoke about having another Nigerian, Victor Osimhen on the pitch. The Barcelona man admitted that it is a thing of joy to see Nigerians performing at a top level. However, he was happy that his teammates did a good job on Osimhen.

“It’s always nice to see Nigerian players on the big stage. I always feel happy for them, but I think our defence did a great job yesterday, and it was very hard for him to make any serious impact”, Adeyemi told Soccernet.ng.

“You see how we play, with a winning mentality, and our performance shows we want to win everything. You see this in every match. No retreat. No surrender.”
