Victor Osimhen was the star of the show as Galatasaray clinched their 25th Turkish Super Lig title on Sunday with a dominant 3-0 victory over Kayserispor. The win leaves them eight points clear of Fenerbahce with just two games left to play, sealing the title with time to spare.
Victor Osimhen Strikes Again
The Nigerian striker opened the scoring early in the match, adding to his impressive tally of 25 league goals since joining on loan from Napoli last September. His contribution has been vital in Galatasaray’s title run, with the club leading the table since the third week of the season.
Goalkeeper Seals the Deal
In an unusual moment, veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera stepped up to take a late penalty — and scored — to cap off a memorable win in front of their home fans.
Champions League Spot Secured
By winning the league, Galatasaray have also secured their place in the main phase of next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Mourinho’s Misery Continues
For Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce, it’s another year of heartbreak. They finish second for the fourth consecutive season, despite high hopes under the Portuguese manager. Fenerbahce have now gone 11 years without winning the league.
Derby Defeats Prove Costly
Fenerbahce’s title hopes were dented by their poor form in Istanbul derbies — failing to win any of their four clashes against Galatasaray and Besiktas this season.
Tensions Boil Over
Frustration seemed to get the better of Mourinho last month when his side lost to Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup quarter-finals. In a heated moment, he was seen grabbing the face of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk — a sign of the intense rivalry and pressure.
Mourinho’s Future Uncertain
With one year still left on his contract, local media are speculating that this latest failure could lead to Mourinho’s exit from Fenerbahce.
