Liverpool's Champions League Away Woes Continue in 1-0 Loss to Galatasaray

Liverpool's away struggles in the Champions League persisted as they succumbed 1-0 to Galatasaray in Istanbul. The Turkish side snapped a lengthy winless home streak in the football tournament, courtesy of a penalty from Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker etched his name in history with his goal.

Osimhen's penalty in the 15th minute proved decisive. It was his 10th goal in the Champions League proper, making him the first Nigerian to achieve this feat. He also became the first to score for three different sides in the competition. Despite Liverpool's attempts, including several saves from Alisson and a late chance for Cody Gakpo, they couldn't find an equalizer. The Reds remain winless in their last three away trips to Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Galatasaray ended their longest ever winless home run in the Champions League with the victory. Okan Buruk, the coach of the winning team, orchestrated the historic win.

Osimhen's goal ended Liverpool's unbeaten run in the Champions League and gave Galatasaray a crucial win. The Reds will need to enhance their away form in the football tournament, while Galatasaray will look to capitalize on this victory in their upcoming matches.
