Arsenal icon Thierry Henry sparked a feel-good moment on live television after greeting Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in Nigerian Pidgin during a post-match interview. The exchange followed Galatasaray’s thrilling knockout play-off victory over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night. Henry, working as a pundit for CBS, interviewed Osimhen after Galatasaray edged Juventus 7–5 on aggregate to reach the competition’s second round for the first time in 12 years. Osimhen was among the heroes, scoring one of the decisive goals in extra time to push the Turkish champions through. Galatasaray had earlier seized control of the tie with a commanding 5–2 first-leg win, but a flat performance in the return fixture allowed Juventus to mount a comeback, netting three times to force extra time. In the additional period, the Istanbul side struck twice to seal qualification.
