Victor Osimhen declares that he will make Liverpool regret at Anfield in the return leg.

Following the 1-0 win against Liverpool in the Champions League first leg, Victor Osimhen is confident that Galatasaray has the capability to pose challenges at Anfield, and even once again leave the Premier League side disappointed.

Galatasaray created a memorable European night in Istanbul by defeating Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Forward Victor Osimhen became the focal point with his assist for Mario Lemina's sole goal, and affirmed that the Turkish club is capable of troubling Liverpool in the return leg at Anfield.

In the fervent atmosphere at RAMS Park, Galatasaray displayed disciplined and composed play against their Premier League opponent. The team under coach Okan Buruk not only defended their home ground well but also seized opportunities to gain a crucial advantage before the rematch. This victory also marks the third consecutive time Galatasaray has overcome Liverpool in European encounters.

Even before kick-off, the RAMS Park stands created a special scene with a grand display of support for the team. That moment overwhelmed Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker even shed tears witnessing the passionate backing from the fans.

After the match, Osimhen shared on TRT channel while holding his son that he feels a deep connection with the Istanbul club.. “I have been very happy since wearing this jersey. This is a special shirt. I want to give everything for the fans. I lost my mother when I was very young, so emotions like this are very meaningful to me,” the striker who previously played for Napoli expressed.

On the pitch, Osimhen continued to prove his leading role in Galatasaray's attack. He was active, causing many problems for Liverpool's defense, and was the one who created the decisive moment by assisting Lemina's goal.

Despite securing an advantage, the 27-year-old forward stated that the Turkish team is not complacent ahead of their visit to Anfield. “We are a family together with the Galatasaray fans. Today the whole team performed very well. I think we can still cause Liverpool many difficulties in the return leg,” Osimhen confidently said.

With the narrow 1-0 victory, Galatasaray will enter the return leg at Anfield with a fragile but hopeful advantage. Under pressure from England's "cauldron," the Turkish representative is likely to continue choosing a disciplined and sharp counter-attacking style to complete their goal of securing a Champions League quarter-final spot.
