CBS Sports commentator, Thierry Henry has suggested that Victor Osimhen’s selfishness cost Galatasaray goals against Liverpool during both sides’ UEFA Champions League tie on Tuesday night.

Recall that Osimhen’s penalty goal gave Galatasaray a 1-0 victory against Arne Slot’s side.

According to Henry, if Osimhen had been a little less selfish at times during the encounter at Rams Park, Galatasaray could have scored a few more goals against Liverpool.

The Arsenal legend also said that the Nigerian international took the penalty really well against the Reds, adding that he and his teammates deserve credit for beating the Premier League champions.

“On a good day, Galatasaray can beat any team,” Henry said after the match in his post-match analysis.

“When Galatasaray is on a good day and playing at home, they can beat any team in Europe.

“They really fought for every ball until the end. They played their best on the counter-attack.

“If Osimhen had been a little less selfish at times, they could have scored a few more goals. A few times, he might have given the ball away to one of his teammates. But he took the penalty really well.

“I said before the match, ‘They can bother Liverpool.’ We have to give them credit. Look at the players in the team,” the Frenchman said.

I also have similar opinion. Osihmen could have used his leverage to create chances for others.

Well what do I know about football.

Coming from a legend but one of the most selfish player that ever played football

If Henry was not selfish back then, Arsenal would have won the champions league against Barcelona

Well before u start saying trash against henry maybe u should stay back n ponder if there some element of truth in wat he said.i Luv osimhen bt i was disappointed in that beautiful 1 on 1 wit d neeper that should hav been a goal.Senior man kelechi would hav scored that n u know senior man is even expired n needs to retire

Shipment is a useless player.i have been saying it for ages.he is useless in every wing.1 on 1 with keeper. U cant still score
U r useless

This sounds like bad belle.
Osimhen's goal won the match for Gala +3pts.
Henry should go & rest.

Thierry Henry that is known as a very selfish footballer is accusing someone else of same thing? Lmao 🤣

Yeah... Henry is right.

Sadly, it's becoming a disturbing trend among striking players these days.

They are more interested in personal glory than team success.

There are things, simple and basic things, a striker should know to do like squaring up the ball for better positioned players in the box.

This is rudimentary football... Just common sense.

Especially when victory is not yet fully secured.

Coaches need to start getting stricter about such things... Any striker that won't change should be disciplined by benching.

thierry was more selfish than osimhen in his own playing days.

The Selfish easily identify the selfish... . Who will add more characters?

He never said “selfish”, his exact word was “greedy”. There’s a difference.

I read somewhere that thiery Henry was the most selfish PL player during his days

But to be fair to Osimhen, dude gives away goals he can close his eyes and score to his team mates to score

Oshimen is really a child of grace and his height ,gave him some leverage but missing one and one with that keeper, made me remember yekeni rashadi

Watch how some gullible Nigerians come out and counter this truth till Oshimen learn how tow play as a team player then he will start attracting world class teams the way he plays he attract injuries to himself. Henry na world-class striker he clearly kws what he is saying

You guys will leave the message and just derail by attacking the messenger...!

Yes, he was selfish... Key word is "WAS".

PAST TENSE!.

This is the present, and Osimhen and his current ilk of strikers need to learn to put teamwork and success above personal glory.

Henry selfish una dey talk too no player in the history of football has good one on one positioning than Henry that y he was not an assist king he knows when to make his runs

People and problem are 5&6
Thierry Henry is one of the most selfish player I know. He only wants to be called. Only me

So why hasn't Arsenal win it after that time? Who was selfish after that time?

GadoosGadoo:
Osimhen will cook in the pl ajeh


Check my profile for any Verification

Henry says so many things but what u people bought out was d part of selfishness which was true if u watch d match, Nigerians and victim mentality

Yeah, he does... But, how often does he do that when he hasn't scored himself?!!

That's the issue.

It's not just Osimhen... Ronaldo is one of the biggest culprits tbh. Another big and annoying culprit is Mo Salah.

A lot of strikers today are personal glory hunters.

If they haven't scored in a game, they would rather risk shots than square up their team mates.

So annoying and stupid!

Expect a thunderous clapback that will be heard even in Antarctica..
Osihmen no dey take criticism well oo
