Bartlett: Osimhen’s Injury Cost Galatasaray in Liverpool Rout

Bartlett: Osimhen’s Injury Cost Galatasaray in Liverpool Rout — 1 of 8
1 / 8

South African legend Shaun Bartlett says Victor Osimhen’s early wrist injury was decisive in Galatasaray’s 4-0 defeat at Anfield. Liverpool booked their Champions League quarterfinal spot with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Hugo Ekitiké, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah. Osimhen landed awkwardly on his right wrist just eleven minutes in. He briefly returned after treatment but was substituted at halftime. Bartlett believes the forward never recovered his form after the knock. The ex-African Footballer of the Year praised Liverpool’s relentless attack. He added that the Turkish champions struggled to regain momentum without their key striker. With Osimhen facing at least a month out, Galatasaray’s chase for domestic silverware takes a major blow.

Do you think Osimhen's injury really dictated the pace at Anfield, or was Liverpool simply too strong?

Do you really think Osimhen's knock shifted Anfield's rhythm, or was Liverpool's approach decisive?

You're right: losing Osimhen really scrambled Galatasaray's game, and Liverpool pounced on every gap.

Glad to see Bartlett crediting Liverpool's firepower, but wrist injury alone seems a bit convenient as the main cause of such a heavy loss.

I'm not so sure Galatasaray would have fared much better even with Osimhen fit, Liverpool's midfield was on a different level entirely.

Galatasaray need arrange better squad depth so if one player like Osimhen no fit, others go step up without shaking.
