“Galatasaray have a fantastic striker like Osimhen, they really have a great squad. We need to be ready for this match. We must play our best football against Galatasaray.”

Osimhen is expected to return to the starting line-up against Barcelona, having last started in September’s 3-2 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir.
