UCL: Ancelotti Challenges Lille To Silence Osimhen

Lille head coach Davide Ancelotti has admitted that his side must work together to stop Victor Osimhen when they face Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League.

Lille will welcome the Turkish Super Lig champions to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Tuesday night, with the Nigerian striker expected to spearhead the visitors’ attack.

Osimhen, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading forwards, poses a significant threat to Lille, and Ancelotti believes his team must be united defensively to limit his influence.

The Italian emphasised that containing the former Napoli striker would require a collective approach.

“We stop him with a collective effort. It doesn’t depend on one player; it always depends on the collective,” Ancelotti told a press conference.
