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.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
