Chiellini Warns Juventus of Osimhen Threat Ahead of Galatasaray Clash
Juventus club director Giorgio Chiellini has highlighted Victor Osimhen as a major danger as the Italian giants prepare to face Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League playoff.
Juventus were drawn against the Turkish league leaders after failing to secure automatic qualification, with the tie set to be decided across Istanbul and Turin.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Chiellini praised Galatasaray’s overall quality, not just their star striker. “It’s a strong team with great individuals… We all know Victor Osimhen well, but there are other important players too,” he said.
Asked about marking Osimhen, Chiellini joked: “At one time, I would have liked to mark him… but today I wouldn’t last two minutes.”
Osimhen heads into the tie in superb form, with seven league goals and six Champions League strikes this season.
