Turkish expert dismisses Osimhen Icardi rivalry talk

Turkish football analyst Bulent Timurlenk has played down claims of a growing rivalry between Galatasaray strikers Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi. He said the Nigerian and Argentine forwards have shown respect for each other and work as a united strike force.​ Speculation about tension between the pair dates back to summer 2024, when Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan and initially formed a partnership with Icardi before the Argentine suffered an ACL injury. Icardi later returned to score four goals in seven league games, while Osimhen finished last season with 26 goals in 30 appearances.​ This season, Icardi has scored 10 goals in 20 league matches and Osimhen has nine in 15, helping Galatasaray push for another Super Lig title. Across all competitions over the past two seasons, they have combined for 70 goals, with Osimhen netting 52 and Icardi 18.​ […]

Osimhen and Onuachu light up Turkish title race

Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu have intensified the Turkish Super Lig title race with standout performances that underlined their importance to Galatasaray and Trabzonspor. A big weekend of goals from both Super Eagles strikers sparked fresh debate about who is the more complete forward.​ Onuachu was the driving force in Trabzonspor’s 3-0 victory over Samsunspor. The tall striker scored twice to take his league tally to 15 goals, despite missing part of the season while on AFCON duty with Nigeria.​ He had two more efforts ruled out, one for a foul and another for offside, narrowly missing out on a four goal haul. With his brace, Onuachu became the first foreign player in Trabzonspor’s history to score against Samsunspor in both league fixtures in a single season.​ Osimhen responded with a record breaking strike in Galatasaray’s 3-0 away win over […]

Galatasaray will be chasing a historic milestone when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, needing just two goals to become the first Turkish club to reach 250 goals in UEFA Champions League history.
