Victor Osimhen has opened up on the reasons behind Galatasaray’s failure to wrap up the Turkish Super Lig championship in their recent match against Samsunspor. The Nigerian striker acknowledged that his side did not perform at their best, which cost them the opportunity to clinch the title on Saturday.
Galatasaray entered the fixture knowing that a victory would secure back-to-back league titles. However, they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Samsunspor, leaving their title celebrations on hold. Despite the setback, the Yellow and Reds remain in a strong position with 74 points, four clear of fierce rivals Fenerbahçe, and two games remaining in the season.
In his post-match comments, Osimhen admitted the team’s display was below par. “We knew it wouldn’t be straightforward to win the title here. We didn’t play well either. We’ll win our next match at home and officially become champions. We apologize to the fans. We’ll focus on the future,” he said, as reported by Fotomac.
Galatasaray’s path to the title remains straightforward: a win against Antalyaspor next weekend will be enough to confirm them as champions. Osimhen and his teammates are determined to make amends and deliver the trophy to their supporters.
