Victor Osimhen remains optimistic about Galatasaray’s chances of overturning their Europa League deficit despite a heavy first-leg defeat against AZ Alkmaar.
The Turkish side endured a 4-1 loss in the play-off tie, with Osimhen absent due to suspension.
The return fixture is set for next Thursday at RAMS Park, where the Nigerian forward is determined to make an impact.
Belief in a Turnaround
Despite the challenging situation, Osimhen remains confident that Galatasaray can produce a strong response at home.
“The return match in Istanbul will be very different. With the support of our fans, we will show the true strength of Galatasaray,” he told Fotomac.
The striker, who is eager to contribute after missing the first leg, expressed his determination to make a difference.
“I will score my goals. Let me take care of AZ Alkmaar. We will be the team that advances.
I am convinced of that. Everyone must keep their morale high,” he added.
Focus on Domestic and European Success
Before the decisive Europa League clash, Galatasaray will turn their attention to domestic competition with an upcoming league fixture against Rizespor.
Osimhen emphasized the importance of staying focused in both tournaments as the team looks to recover momentum.
With his return set to boost Galatasaray’s attack, all eyes will be on Osimhen as he aims to lead the Turkish giants into the next stage of the competition.
