Victor Osimhen scored in Galatasaray's derby victory over Fenerbahçe on Sunday, helping his team strengthen their position at the top of the Turkish Süper Lig table. The Nigerian striker stated after the match, "If I get the chance, I can score against any team. That is my job, and I believe I do it well. We are getting closer to the championship." His goal contributed to a key win in the tightly contested title race between the two Istanbul clubs.
Osimhen also responded to reported complaints from Fenerbahçe about pre-match conditions, saying he did not understand the objections. "I don't follow social media, but someone at the training ground mentioned Fenerbahçe's complaint. I don't understand it. They are playing against one of the best teams in the league. Complaining about something like that doesn't make much sense," he said. The match was marked by intense physical and emotional moments, typical of the fierce rivalry between the two sides.
Osimhen's performances have been central to Galatasaray's championship push, with the striker scoring in several high-pressure games this season. As the league enters its final stretch, his goal-scoring form remains critical for the team's title ambitions.
Osimhen claims he can score against any team, yet offers no explanation for his inconsistent performances in previous clubs. His confidence is high, but Nigerian fans have seen this pattern before — big statements followed by unmet expectations. If he cannot maintain this form beyond one derby, the talk of championship impact will remain just that — talk. For now, the goal stands, the win counts, and the pressure grows.
