Çakır Praises Osimhen as Galatasaray Leader After Derby Triumph

1 / 3

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen inspired Galatasaray with a commanding display in their Intercontinental Derby victory over Fenerbahçe. He opened the scoring with his first goal since returning from a forearm fracture and even sparked a late on-field exchange. Goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır hailed Osimhen’s passion and influence. “We were in control from start to finish,” Çakır said. “Victor, Mauro and Lemina are our leading players, and it shows in how we play.” Asked about the heated moment, Çakır highlighted the value of strong characters in driving the squad forward. He believes Osimhen’s leadership lifts everyone’s performance on the pitch. With this win, Galatasaray sits on the brink of the Süper Lig title. A victory against Samsunspor next Saturday would secure the championship.
