Speaking after the game, Osimhen said his reaction was out of respect for Luciano Spalletti, whom he holds in high regard from their time together at Napoli, where they lifted the Serie A title in the 2022–2023 season.
He also acknowledged that Galatasaray’s overall display, even with a numerical advantage, was not worthy of celebration, stressing that respect and sincerity outweigh emotion in moments like that.
