Arsenal legend Thierry Henry shared a hilarious moment with Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen when he broke into Pidgin English during a post-match interview following Galatasaray's clash with Juventus on Wednesday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen was named Man of the Match in Turin, despite Galatasaray’s narrow 3-2 loss to the Old Lady. While the Turkish giants fell on the night, their emphatic 5-2 victory in the first leg in Istanbul last week ensured they progressed to the next round with a 7-5 aggregate scoreline.
The Cimbom initially struggled, falling behind by three goals during regulation time. However, it was Osimhen who stepped up in extra time, scoring the decisive goal that ensured the game did not drag into the lottery of a penalty shootout.
Thierry Henry Shows Off His Naija Side
Following the match, the Super Eagles striker spoke with Henry, and the two shared a memorable exchange.
Arsenal legend Henry, who is now a pundit, has long been an admirer of the 27-year-old, even recently advising Barcelona to secure his signature.
In a lighthearted attempt to connect with the Nigerian star, Henry—who is famously French—asked: “Victor, this is Thierry. First and foremost, how body? Body dey?”
The unexpected gesture drew a loud laugh from Osimhen, who quickly replied: “Body dey fine!”

Victor Osimhen: Etching His Name Among Football Greats
Victor Osimhen is gradually cementing his legacy in football history. Despite being in Turkey for less than two years, the masked marksman has already shattered multiple records.
His crucial strike against Juventus made him the highest foreign goalscorer in European competitions for Galatasaray, with 13 goals to his name.
Given his current form, he is finely poised to extend that record even further as the tournament progresses.
Osimhen’s elite quality is being recognized by the game's greatest icons, including Alessandro Del Piero and Thierry Henry. If he continues at this prolific rate, there is no limit to the heights he can reach before the end of his career.
