The Digest:
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has fired a warning to Juventus ahead of Wednesday's Champions League playoff second leg, declaring Galatasaray are ready to "play our own game by attacking" rather than just defending their 5-2 first-leg advantage. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Osimhen said: "We are ready for it, we have completed our preparations and we are waiting for our opponent. As in the first match, in the second match we will aim not only to protect the score we achieved, but also to play our own game by attacking." The 27-year-old, who provided two assists in the first leg, has been declared fit after recovering from a knee problem that kept him out of the weekend's defeat to Konyaspor. He praised Galatasaray's medical staff for helping him recover quickly. Osimhen has six goals and two assists in this Champions League campaign and is Nigeria's all-time top scorer in the competition with 15 goals.
Key Points:
- Osimhen's fitness boost is crucial for Galatasaray's Champions League hopes.
- His attacking intent signals no defensive approach despite three-goal cushion.
- Juventus faces motivated Nigerian, while Galatasaray aims to seal progression.
- This reflects Osimhen's leadership and hunger for goals.
- The timing, with recovery confirmed, lifts team morale.
