Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, believes Galatasaray’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Besiktas will fuel the team’s drive for a fourth consecutive league title.
The Yellow and Reds secured the win in a tense Istanbul derby on Saturday, with Osimhen scoring the decisive goal just before halftime.
Osimhen Praises Team Effort
Speaking to the club’s official website, the Nigeria international described the match as a challenging encounter.
“We knew it was going to be tough. Besiktas is a quality side, and playing in front of thousands of fans adds pressure. We managed to take the lead, but after the red card, we had to work even harder. That’s normal at this level,” Osimhen said.
He added, “I want to congratulate my teammates for their endurance and strength. We fought intensely until the final whistle, and this victory makes me very proud.”
Handling the Red Card Challenge
Osimhen also highlighted the team’s resilience after Leroy Sane was sent off in the 62nd minute.
“First, we followed our coach’s instructions. Beyond that, my teammates kept motivating me. After scoring, they urged me to focus on defense. I love this club and we are all fighting to achieve our dreams,” he explained.
The striker concluded, “Our unity, both at home and away, is our strength. We take it one game at a time and always fight for each other.”
