Osimhen Promises to Bring UEFA Europa League Trophy to Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen has vowed to lead Galatasaray to victory in the UEFA Europa League after showcasing an impressive performance in their recent 1-1 draw against AZ Alkmaar.
The Nigerian striker, who joined the Turkish club on a high-profile transfer, has been in stellar form, netting three goals in his last two appearances in the competition.
Osimhen delivered a brilliant goal in the match against the Dutch side, further cementing his role as a key player for Okan Buruk’s team.
After the game, the Super Eagles forward expressed his confidence and determination to achieve European glory with Galatasaray.
“I said I would score a goal, and I did. Now, I make another promise: I will bring the UEFA Cup to Turkey,” he boldly declared, signaling his ambition to lead the team to historic success.
Reflecting on the match, Osimhen acknowledged the challenges the team faced, particularly with mental fatigue from their demanding schedule.
“It feels good to score a goal, but we could only leave with one point.
We’ll keep pushing forward,” he said. He also praised the team’s resilience and unbeaten record in Europe, adding, “Our performance was strong.
Although we may be mentally tired from playing just four days ago, we remain undefeated in this competition.”
Galatasaray’s head coach, Okan Buruk, has also hailed Osimhen’s contributions since joining the squad, describing him as a game-changer with the ability to inspire the team in critical moments.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
