"Meeting Liverpool now is going to be like some sort of revenge. Anyone we meet now... I wouldn't say much but I would like to escape Liverpool. But if they come, yeah, we're going to dig it out but it's not going to be easy."
"Osimhen struck a decisive blow in extra time, followed by a Barış Alper Yılmaz goal, to ensure a 7-5 aggregate victory and keep the Cimbom's European dream alive. Now, the prospect of a trip to Anfield or a date with Tottenham looms large on the horizon."
Victor Osimhen scored the decisive goal in extra time as Galatasaray defeated Juventus 7-5 on aggregate in the Champions League play-off tie, advancing to the knockout stage draw. After trailing 5-5 in aggregate following Juventus's second-leg comeback, Osimhen's strike and a subsequent goal from Barış Alper Yılmaz secured the Turkish champions' progression. Galatasaray previously defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the league phase with Osimhen converting a penalty. Facing Liverpool again in the round-of-16 would feel like revenge for Osimhen, though he acknowledged the difficulty of playing at Anfield and expressed a preference to avoid the Premier League side.
