Galatasaray Fans Call for Buruk’s Exit After Sporting Defeat as Osimhen Injury Worsens
Galatasaray supporters have criticised manager Okan Buruk and the club’s board after the Turkish side lost 3-1 to Sporting CP in their Champions League opener in Lisbon. Galatasaray took an early lead through a Gonçalo Inácio own goal but conceded to Geny Catamo, Luis Suárez and Rodrigo Zalazar. Fans argued that the team lacks depth in attack and becomes too dependent on Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi. Some called for Buruk to resign, while others blamed the board for not signing a capable backup striker. Osimhen missed the match with a right adductor strain reportedly suffered against İstanbul Başakşehir. He is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks, which could rule him out of upcoming Galatasaray fixtures and Nigeria’s AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
