Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen has revealed that his Turkish side, Galatasaray, have big ambitions in the UEFA Champions League this season. Galatasaray are back at Europe’s top table after a season’s absence.
Okan Buruk’s side began their campaign with a disappointing 4-1 defeat to German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the Yellow and Reds bounced back with home victories against former champions Liverpool and Bodo/Glimt, with Osimhen registering three goals across both matches.
Galatasaray will be away to Ajax in their next game on Wednesday, and the Nigeria international declared that their ambition is to make a statement in the competition. “I spoke with the president when I arrived here, and we want to really make a statement in the Champions League,” Osimhen told UEFA.com. “We want to show that, in Turkey, we are the team that the whole world will know this year because we actually did something amazing in Europe. We’ve dominated the league for years. We will continue to dominate it, but now it’s time to make a statement in the most prestigious games — Champions League games — because it’s beautiful when you play in the Champions League. So, for us, we want to make a statement.”
