Osimhen’s Extra-Time Winner Sends Galatasaray Through as He Declines to Celebrate

He said the restraint honored former coach Luciano Spalletti.

Overview

  • Juventus won the second leg 3-2 in Turin but exited 7-5 on aggregate in the Champions League knockout play-off.
  • Osimhen restored Galatasaray’s aggregate lead in extra time before Baris Yilmaz added a late goal.
  • The Italians played with ten men after Lloyd Kelly’s early second-half dismissal, which was described as controversial.
  • Osimhen said he was unhappy with Galatasaray’s performance and noted they struggled despite the numerical advantage.
  • He explained that he did not celebrate out of respect for Spalletti and because he does not hide his emotions, and Galatasaray will face Liverpool or Tottenham in the Round of 16.
