Galatasaray have officially been crowned champions of the Turkish Super Lig for the 26th time. The Lions secured the title on matchday 33 after a thrilling victory against Antalyaspor at the RAMS Park.
This win puts them four points clear of their rivals, Fenerbahçe, with the trophy now firmly in their hands.
Victor Osimhen Secures Turkish Super Lig Glory
The star of the show was undoubtedly Victor Osimhen, who scored twice to lead his team to victory.
Mario Lemina and Kaan Ayhan also found the back of the net to ensure a festive atmosphere for the home fans.
Under the guidance of coach Okan Buruk, Galatasaray has now won four consecutive league titles, equaling their own historic record.
Speaking to the club’s media after his match-winning performance, Osimhen shared his excitement:
“Antalyaspor forced us this evening; But we are Galatasaray. We need to overcome such matches. We take to the field to perform well in such matches. We became champions tonight. We are very happy.”
Osimhen Vows More Titles After 26th Title Win
The Nigerian striker did not stop the celebrations on the pitch. During an Instagram live session, he showed off his passion and dedication to the fans, even reflecting on his journey through injury to reach this moment.
“When I had surgery, even look, let me show you… Look at my arm… I told the hospital staff to hurry up because; it would have been boring if someone else became champion. They don’t know how to celebrate like we do!”
Galatasaray’s dominance in Turkish football is now clearer than ever. With 26 titles, they sit far ahead of Fenerbahçe’s 19 and Beşiktaş’s 16.
This latest triumph also guarantees them a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Osimhen made it clear that the team is not finished yet, sending a strong warning to their rivals about the future:
“I had said it; we are the best! We had said this many times. Next year, we’ll come back with the same hunger! You can’t do anything.”
“Next season, we’ll be back again. We’re coming. Istanbul is ours. Us, us, us. We’ll handle it. I promise you. You’re just trying. Keep trying!”
