The “Masked Assassin” is back. Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen has fired a warning shot at the Juventus backline, declaring himself a “nightmare” for any defender as Galatasaray prepares for a high-stakes UEFA Champions League showdown in Turin this Wednesday.

Osimhen, who recently completed a permanent move to the Turkish giants, was the architect of chaos in the first leg, where Galatasaray dismantled the Bianconeri in a stunning 5-1 victory at RAMS Park. Despite not scoring, his two assists and relentless physicality left the Italian defense in tatters.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, the 27-year-old forward made it clear that he expects a hostile reception in Italy but is more than ready for the battle.

“The defenders, when they have to face Osimhen, are a nightmare for all of them,” the striker boasted. “I know they’ll try to limit me and the team, but I’m ready to face all of them. I’ll give every defender a hard time.”

However, Osimhen was quick to remind Juventus that the “Yellow-Reds” are far from a one-man team. “The threat will come from the entire team. Five goals were scored [in the first leg] and I didn’t score. Don’t focus only on me,” he warned.

In a surprising twist, Osimhen also addressed rumors linking him with a future move to the Old Lady. The striker admitted that a move to Turin was almost on the cards before he settled in Istanbul.

In what will be a massive blow to Juventus’ comeback hopes, Osimhen has officially returned to full team training. The Nigerian had been a major doubt for the fixture after missing the clash against Konyaspor with a knee injury. His recovery provides a vital boost for the Super Lig champions as they look to secure their spot in the UCL Round of 16.

With a four-goal cushion but a point to prove in Italy, all eyes will be on Osimhen to see if he can turn the “Nightmare in Turin” into a reality.
