The match saw Liverpool struggle to recover from their previous weekend loss to Crystal Palace, failing to impress against the Turkish club. Osimhen's first-half penalty goal was the deciding factor, separating the two teams.

Osimhen expressed his admiration for Liverpool, considering them one of the world's top clubs. He also acknowledged the influence of the Galatasaray fans, crediting them for his improved performance after being sidelined for three weeks.

Osimhen described scoring the winning goal against Alisson Becker as a significant moment, particularly after being denied by the goalkeeper in a previous match. He noted that this goal was his first against the six-time European champions and the first time he had scored against Alisson.
