Galatasaray Midfielder Mario Lemina Hails Victor Osimhen as Best Striker He’s Ever Played With
Galatasaray midfielder Mario Lemina has praised Victor Osimhen, calling him the best striker he has ever played alongside.
The two stars were instrumental in Galatasaray’s 1–0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday. Osimhen delivered the precise assist that allowed Lemina to score the match’s only goal, securing a crucial win for the Turkish giants.
In a conversation with Djibril Drame, the 32-year-old Gabonese midfielder didn’t hold back in his praise for the Nigerian forward.
“I’ve played with forwards like Aubameyang, Higuain, Gignac, Falcao, but there’s no one like Victor Osimhen. He’s one of a kind.”
“Even if he doesn’t score, he’s constantly contributing, constantly a threat. Always pressing. He defends with us. On top of that, he’s a complete finisher.”
“I’ve never seen such a hungry forward. He hates losing, and when we lose, he won’t talk to you. The next day, he puts on his headphones and doesn’t talk to anyone. But these are good habits. It’s a fantastic thing.”
