Former Besiktas midfielder Sinan Engin has hailed Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen as an extraordinary player, emphasizing his unique physical qualities and impact on the field.

Speaking on the Asist Analiz YouTube channel, Engin was effusive in his praise, framing Osimhen as a player whose physical gifts verge on the superhuman.

“Galatasaray has an extraordinary player; Victor Osimhen. You have to look at his genetics, he's more than just a human,” he said, as quoted by habersarikirmizi.

Engin went further, expressing amazement at Osimhen’s raw power and presence on the field.

“What does this guy eat, man? He must be eating lions. Osimhen has become like a lion. Icardi has been forgotten,” he added.

The Nigerian forward proved Engin’s words were no exaggeration during Galatasaray’s historic 1–0 victory in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.

The decisive moment came in the seventh minute, when Osimhen soared to meet a corner, sending a precise header toward goal.

Mario Lemina expertly redirected the ball, ensuring it hit the back of the net and handed the hosts a crucial early lead.

Osimhen’s contribution set the tone for the match, as Galatasaray managed to hold off a relentless Liverpool side.

Every touch, run, and duel he engaged in reinforced Engin’s view that the striker is a unique talent capable of changing games almost single-handedly.
