Lille centre-back Alexsandro Ribeiro has declared himself ready for a personal duel with Victor Osimhen when his side welcome Galatasaray to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the UEFA Champions League.

The matchday three fixture carries extra weight for both clubs — neither Lille nor Galatasaray have collected a single point after losing their opening two group games, making this a must-not-lose encounter for each side.

The tie also carries a subplot: Osimhen spent the 2019/2020 season at Lille before his high-profile transfer to Napoli, meaning the Nigerian striker will walk onto familiar ground when the two sides meet.

Ribeiro's battle cry

Ribeiro made no attempt to downplay the challenge that Osimhen presents, instead framing the fixture as a one-on-one contest he is eager to engage in.
