When asked which team he would rather face in the Round of 16, Osimhen told CBS Sports: “To be honest with you, meeting Liverpool is going to be like some sort of revenge.
“But I think anyone we meet now, but I wouldn’t say who I want, but I would like to escape Liverpool, but if they come, we are going to dig it out, but it’s not going to be easy.
🔮 How far will Tottenham advance in the Champions League this season?
“This is the Champions League, no team is easy, and we can see how well Bodo/Glimt are doing at the moment, so if you try to win, you have to play the big dogs.
“I think if we meet Liverpool, we haven’t played at Anfield. If we get them, it is going to be an amazing game, but we are up to the task, and it will not be easy.”
Galatasaray have shown that in Istanbul, it is a very hostile place to go, and either Spurs or Liverpool will be in for a very tricky tie.
