TURKISH PUNDIT ENCOURAGES OSIMHEN TO BALANCE CAREER WITH PERSONAL LIFE
Turkish football analyst Emre Bol has offered unconventional advice to Galatasaray’s in-form striker Victor Osimhen, urging him to enjoy life beyond the pitch.
The Nigerian forward has been in outstanding form since joining the Turkish champions, netting 28 goals and providing six assists in 32 appearances across all competitions this season. Known for his professionalism, Osimhen prioritizes rest and avoids off-field distractions, maintaining a disciplined routine to stay at the top of his game.
However, during an appearance on Ekol Sports YouTube channel, Bol praised Osimhen’s dedication while suggesting he should also embrace his youth.
Victor Osimhen trains intensely and stays away from nightlife, Bol remarked, as reported by Habersarikirmizi.com. But at 26, you’re still young. Go out, meet people, and enjoy life—these years won’t return. That said, he’s a true professional.
Despite Bol’s comments, Osimhen is already in a committed relationship with Stephanie Ladewig, with whom he shares a daughter, Haly, born in 2022.
On the transfer front, Osimhen’s stellar performances have put him on the radar of top European clubs, including Juventus, Manchester United, and Chelsea, as the summer window approaches. His future remains a hot topic, but for now, he continues to shine in Turkey. #victorosimhen #galatasaray #osimhen
Lyon 2-2 Man Utd: Onana’s Errors Prove Costly
Manchester United were denied a first-leg victory in their Europa League quarter-final against Lyon after goalkeeper Andre Onana’s mistakes led to both of the French side’s goals in a 2-2 draw.
The Cameroonian, who had confidently claimed United were "way better" than Lyon before the match, was at fault for the opener, misjudging Thiago Almada’s 25th-minute free-kick. Defender Leny Yoro leveled just before halftime, capitalizing on a loose ball in the box.
United appeared to have snatched a late win when Joshua Zirkzee headed in Bruno Fernandes’ cross in the 88th minute. However, Onana’s night took another turn when he parried a close-range effort straight to Rayan Cherki, who equalized in stoppage time.
Despite Lyon creating better chances—with Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso wasting key opportunities—United’s counterattacks kept them in the game. The result leaves the tie finely balanced ahead of next week’s return leg at Old Trafford.
Key Stat: Onana has now committed eight errors leading to goals since the start of last season—more than any other Premier League goalkeeper. Lyon remain winless in five competitive meetings with United. #manchesterunited #eropa
