French pundit and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry spoke Pidgin English to Galatasaray and Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen on Wednesday night, following a European encounter.
The exchange occurred after Osimhen found the net in the Turkish giants’ 3-2 loss to Serie A club Juventus in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) Round of 16 play-off second leg in Turin.
Despite the defeat, Galatasaray advanced to the Round of 16 of the tournament with a 7-5 aggregate victory, having secured a 5-2 win in the first leg in Turkey last week.

Speaking on CBS Sports after the match, Henry asked Osimhen in Pidgin: “Victor, how body? Body dey?”
Osimhen replied: “Body dey fine.”
Following their aggregate progression in the Champions League, Galatasaray will likely face either Premier League champions Liverpool or North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, Osimhen will shift his attention to leading his team to victory when they face Alanyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig clash on Saturday.
