“Obviously, Victor is having a great season and I know how dangerous he is. I just tried to make sure I got my body in
between him and the ball at all times as much as possible.
“I was disappointed he managed to score at the end. I just tried to get to him as tight as possible and try not to give him a lot
of space,” Tomori told reporters.
Osimhen ended this season’s Champions League campaign with five goals from six matches.
