Champions League: Lille Bows Against Galatasaray, Manchester United Dark at Como
Victor Osimhen scored his first Champions League goal of the season as Galatasaray ended Lille’s perfect start and boosted their knockout-stage hopes.
- Galatasaray defeated Lille 4-2 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Wednesday, securing their first UEFA Champions League victory of the campaign and ending a five-game away losing run in the competition.
- Lille coach Davide Ancelotti had insisted on a "collective effort" to contain Victor Osimhen, the 27-year-old striker returning to the club where he earned Player of the Season honors during the 2019/2020 campaign.
- Yunus Akg opened the scoring for Galatasaray before Soriba Diaoune netted twice for Lille; Aleksey Batrakov equalized, then Lucas Torreira and Osimhen secured the comeback in the second half.
- Osimhen, voted Man of the Match, notably chose not to celebrate his goal against his former club, while the victory ended Galatasaray's five-game away losing run in European competition.
- Victory boosts Galatasaray's chances of reaching the Champions League knockout stages after a difficult start to their European campaign, leaving Lille without a point after three matches.
