Derby match winner Victor Osimhen has said Galatasaray will put up a big fight when they welcome Liverpool in UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie Tuesday.
Osimhen had admitted he would have loved to avoid the Premier League champions at this stage of the competition, but it was not to be so.
The Super Eagles striker got the match winner for Galatasaray to beat Besiktas in an Istanbul Derby Saturday night and he has now shifted his attention to the Liverpool clash Tuesday.
“The victory against Besiktas will of course lift us, but we need to keep our feet on the ground,” he warned.
“Liverpool are a strong and ambitious team.
“We will be playing at home, which is an advantage for us.
“If we’re careful, along with the lessons from playing together against Besiktas, I am confident we will do well too, even if it won’t be easy.
“We’ll fight for it.”
Last year, Galatasaray pipped Liverpool in the group stage of the Champions League in Istanbul with Osimhen the match winner from the penalty spot.
Kick-off Tuesday is 6.45pm.
