All eyes will be on Victor Osimhen when Galatasaray face Liverpool in the first-leg of their Champions League Round of 16 showdown at the RAMS Park on Tuesday night, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian striker has been the focal point of Galatasaray’s attack this season, combining power, speed and relentless pressing to trouble defenders across Europe.
His seven goals have been vital to the Turkish champions’ progress in the competition, and the clash with Liverpool offers another stage for him to show his quality.
Liverpool, known for their high-intensity style and organised defence, will expect a difficult night in Istanbul. Much of their game plan is likely to revolve around stopping Osimhen’s movement inside the box and limiting the service he receives from Galatasaray’s creative midfielders.
For the home side, the task will be to get the ball to their star striker early and often. If Osimhen finds space behind Liverpool’s back line, Galatasaray will believe they have a real chance of claiming a famous European result.
