Barcelona's Pau Cubarsi calls Victor Osimhen one of the world's best strikers and says the Blaugrana must stay switched on in Istanbul.
Victor Osimhen is already getting the respect of a Champions League heavyweight. Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi says the Nigerian striker is one of the most dangerous forwards in the world game, and that the Catalans must be locked in when they meet Galatasaray on Tuesday, October 13th.
Cubarsi admitted that Barcelona have met Osimhen before, but said much can change in a few years. He expects the Nigerian to be a different challenge now, leading the line for a well-organised Galatasaray side with a fired-up home crowd behind them.
The young defender made it clear that stopping Osimhen will be a priority. His message to his teammates was simple: stay focused for the full 90 minutes and do not give the striker even a sliver of space, because he can make a team pay in a single moment.
For Osimhen, it is another chance to show Europe's elite what the Super Eagle can do on the big stage. With Barcelona's defence openly planning around him, all eyes will be on how the Nigerian responds when the Champions League lights come on.
