This impressive contribution marked his third goal in just two matches, serving as a testament to Osimhen’s growing momentum and influence in European club football.

Anchoring his thoughts back to the game, Victor Osimhen expressed an air of satisfaction despite being denied a win. He emphasized the importance of consistency, stating, “Scoring a goal feels great, but getting only one point is underwhelming. We must, however, keep pushing towards our goals.”

Furthermore, he praised his side’s resilience, highlighting an unbeaten run in Europa League matches.
