Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has stated that his team must stop Victor Osimhen in their UEFA Champions League encounter.

The Serie A giants will meet Galatasaray in the first leg of their playoff match on Tuesday night at Rams Park.

Osimhen has done well in the competition this season, scoring six goals in six games.

Spalletti previously worked with the Nigeria international during his spell at Napoli.

The Italian declared that they must devise a strategy to contain Osimhen and his partner, Mauro Icardi.

“They (Osimhen and Icardi) both have extraordinary talent. The solution is to keep them as far away from the ball as possible. Galatasaray’s quality will pose a challenge for us,” he said.

The return leg will take place in Turin next Wednesday.
