For Osimhen, the display was not just about goals but a declaration of intent. Following the victory, he revealed the key factor behind his top performances.
Speaking after the win, Osimhen said:
“That’s exactly why I came here. It makes me so proud to hear my name being constantly mentioned at Galatasaray and to have the fans supporting me like this. Thanks to them, I always play better. I love Galatasaray and the fans very much.”
The Nigerian striker’s words underline the deep connection he has built with the Turkish club and its supporters, highlighting how motivation off the pitch translates into decisive moments on it.

Galatasaray’s Champions League revival fuelled by Osimhen
Tuesday’s clash marked a significant turnaround for Galatasaray after their opening day 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Against Liverpool, they matched everything the Reds brought, showing tactical discipline and clinical finishing.
Osimhen’s penalty in the first half broke the deadlock and sealed the victory, proving decisive in a game that could have gone either way.
“Frankly, I want to congratulate the team first. It was a very tough opponent for us, and many people, except for the fans here, didn’t really believe we would win. I think we’ve got a huge win for Galatasaray right now,” he stressed.
With six group-stage games remaining against Bodo Glimt, Monaco, Ajax, Royale Union SG, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester City, Osimhen is clear about his target: to guide Galatasaray to uncharted heights in the Champions League.
