[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, ahead of Galatasaray’s Champions League match against Liverpool, Victor Osimhen, who is usually ruthless and dominant on the pitch, was visibly overcome with emotion by his own fans. Before kick-off, a huge tifo was slowly unfurled in the stands. It featured not only Osimhen but also his late mother, both wearing jerseys. Beneath the banner was an incredibly touching message: “We are a family, and family is everything.” Anyone who knows Osimhen is aware that he lost his mother at the age of just two or three. Faced with this unexpectedly heartfelt gesture from Galatasaray fans, the tough Nigerian striker could not hold back his tears. His eyes turned red, and he wiped away tears repeatedly. Afterwards, Osimhen emotionally walked towards the stands to applaud the fans in gratitude. Seeing this, his teammates quickly rushed over to comfort him with warm hugs.
The editor believes that Osimhen was moved to tears by the fans before the match, and later repaid them with an outstanding performance on the pitch. Less than 10 minutes into the game, Osimhen provided a crucial assist to help his teammate Mario Lemina score the winning goal. In the end, Galatasaray earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Liverpool at home.
