Galatasaray won the first leg in Istanbul 5-2 with Osimhen providing two assists.
The Turkish champions will therefore hope for a result in Italy tonight for them go through to the next round of the competition.
“We’re ready for the match. We’ve done our preparations and we’re waiting for them!” he declared.
“There’s only one thing on my mind and that of my teammates; we will take the field aware that we won the first match 5-2, but also aware that the team we’re facing is Juventus.”
“We’re a team with our feet on the ground. We’re all ready. It’s also important for us to get a good result here because of the poor outcome we had in the league (lost 2-0 at Konyaspor). At the same time, we want to continue our journey in the Champions League.
“Just like in the first match, in the second match, we’re not just going to sit back and focus on protecting the score. At the same time, we’re also aiming to play offensively going forward.”
He said he has recovered in time from a knee problem
“I would like to thank our medical team very much for the injury matter. They supported me a lot. Thanks to their support and care, I recovered in a very short time,” he said.
