Osimhen impressed with Galatasaray’s performance against Atletico Madrid

Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has lauded Galatasaray’s performance against LaLiga side Atletico Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League match.

Diego Simeone’s men took the lead against the Super Lig side through Giuliano Simeone before Marcos Llorente levelled matters in the goal-laden first half.

"We knew before the match that we would be playing against a strong opponent," Osimhen told the media.

"I congratulate my teammates for their fight throughout the 90 minutes; we did a good job against a great opponent.

"The match was 50-50. We had chances to finish the game in some moments. I'm happy with our performance."

Galatasaray face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in their next outing and the Nigeria wants his team to take it one game after the other.

"Manchester City is one of the best teams in the world. We'll take it one game at a time," he added.

"We'll focus on the league first, then on that game. It won't be easy, but I trust my team. I'm looking at it positively.

"We can get something out of it. The most important thing is to have a good game, like we did against Atletico."
