Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Uhde]

Galatasaray lost, and it seems very obvious to me since last season that when Victor Osimhen isn't playing, Galatasaray has faced difficulties winning games. It's true that there were games where Galatasaray won even without Victor Osimhen playing, but when it comes to difficult games, Victor Osimhen's presence becomes important. But it's also becoming obvious that Victor Osimhen is constantly injured. It's rare for him to play a season without at least two injuries, and I'm being modest, because he gets injured more than three times in a season.

Honestly, I don't know how the management will deal with Victor Osimhen's absences, because in a season he won't be able to play much, and constantly, there's always some kind of injury. For his young age, this is a very bad sign; it means that as time goes on he will become more physically fragile and constantly suffer from prolonged injuries. Be that as it may, this defeat for Galatasaray doesn't jeopardize their title chances.

With weak opponents, Galatasaray doesn't need to worry. Even if they lose more games, I'm absolutely certain that Galatasaray will be champions this season. I don't see any other team capable of being champions.

Galatasaray played that typically sluggish, ineffective and soulless football we often see following international breaks and Champions League matches.
Except for Barış Alper, there wasn't a single soul on the pitch who showed any fight or desire.
and it was another one of those matches where we saw that if Osimhen isn't there, half the team is missing... Unfortunately, the players on the field feel the psychological impact of his absence too and it reflects in their performance. if he doesnt return soon, things may get ugly for Galatasaray.

Napoli thought that they could stop him from shining but he's gifted with his striking skills and who God has blessed no one can stop him from shinning. I agree with you, that assuming Victor Osimhen is from Europe, they would have put his price tag very high. However, with time he will get a good club that will pay him based on his worth.

I think Victor Osimhen is currently one of the best strikers.
He is very athletic and highly motivated, constantly challenging defenders, which often forces two players to mark him.
If Osimhen were a European citizen, his market value would be much higher than it is now.

Naturally, victor Osimhen is special player with numerous qualities beyond an ordinary striker, he possesses extraordinary qualities that could determine the outcome of some games and he always showcases this talents wherever he goes or whenever he has the opportunity to be on the pitch

Napoli tried to frustrate him and during those trying time he kept his cool knowing that he was going to bounce back irrespective of the prevailing circumstances and perhaps nobody thought that this Nigerian star was going to use the Turkish super league and Galatasaray as his new stage to display his rthym to the whole of Europe, one of the highlights this season's UCL for me is when Victor scored against Juventus, an Italian team and got them eliminated with an assist.

I don't know what is wrong with the players at Galatasaray, I believe they have what it takes to win all their matches even without Victor Osimhen but more and more games without him shows they're like a Tiger without teeth. I know they didn't just lose to a small team but they should have given more, Trabzonspor has been in an incredible form with their top striker leading the goal charts and once again hit the net against Galatasaray, they now sit second in the table only behind Galatasaray with one point. If Galatasaray doesn't pick up form against the top teams in the league their title might be under threat.

Trabzonspor definitely deserved a clear cut victory on the pitch. they hadn't won a derby in years and that pent-up energy really showed they earned that win.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, lacked focus and played terribly. Torreira, Jakobs and Icardi were awful. honestly, the team couldn't have played any worse even if they’d been down to nine men in the first half.

I was waiting for Galatasaray to struggle this much to be honest. When they don't have Osimhen on the pitch they are just a totally different team. I should say a much weaker one.

Icardi had 0 effect on the match. He doesn't even play with the same style as Osimhen. He is more like a finisher instead. But he was like a ghost just as nearly the rest of the team.

This result isn't very good for Fenerbahçe as the 2nd position is also at risk for us now.

[nelson4lov]

As expected, Galatasaray dropped points today. Unfortunately I didn't see the game due to the timing but nonetheless, their loss has opened up an opportunity that Fenerbahce can take advantage on when they take on Beşiktaş at home. I'll be looking forward to tomorrow because I feel this Galatasaray loss will act as fuel to inspire Fenerbahce to win by tomorrow.

[Balmain]

Galatasaray was so crushed that it made people think Trabzonspor should win the championship. They're only one point behind anyway, they deserve the league title. Our team doesn't deserve it. They scored early and took control of the game, Galatasaray's response came quite late. Trabzonspor dictated the tempo of the game with their midfield press. The point difference is now down to one. Galatasaray will definitely lose points in the coming weeks with this kind of performance.

Fatih Tekke had his team perfectly prepared while Galatasaray looked underprepared. With Icardi on the pitch, it felt like they were playing a man down the entire match anyway defeat was inevitable. anyway Trabzon deserved the win and I think all Galatasaray fans would agree on that.

[blomen]

yesterday, galatasaray once again demonstrated just how helpless they are without osimhen. this is no longer just a one-off occurrence. the team has completely forgotten how to win without him. i’ve written about this many times before.

...

galatasaray could win the championship again this season, but they absolutely must address the gaps in their roster. you can’t expect to win every game just by signing osimhen.

following galatasaray’s loss, the race for the top spots has intensified significantly. trabzonspor has overtaken fenerbahçe, and tonight’s match is the fenerbahçe-beşiktaş derby. if fenerbahçe loses tonight, they will also lose second place, and to stay in the title race, they will first need to beat trabzon. they absolutely must take tonight’s match very seriously.

[execijutiere]

Two matches will kick off in two hours’ time.
The first of these will be between Samsunspor and Konyaspor. Konyaspor are the side closer to the relegation zone, but thanks to the wins they’ve secured in recent weeks, they’ve managed to pull away from the drop zone, albeit slightly. Samsunspor, meanwhile, no longer have anything to play for in the league. I think the match will end in a draw. A win doesn’t seem to hold much significance for either team.
Karagümrük will face Rizespor at home. Rizespor are well clear of the relegation zone and in a more comfortable position, but if Karagümrük want to avoid relegation, they absolutely must win this match. We can say it will be a tough encounter for both teams, but I don’t think Karagümrük will lose.

Indeed! We just messed up too much yesterday. Especially our 1st half performance was seriously bad. We showed some reaction in the 2nd half but it didn't help either.

Osimhen is everything for us at the moment. This has good and bad sides. To tell the truth, I'd rather see a good teamwork instead of relying on 1 player mostly. 

galatasaray could win the championship again this season, but they absolutely must address the gaps in their roster. you can’t expect to win every game just by signing osimhen.

following galatasaray’s loss, the race for the top spots has intensified significantly. trabzonspor has overtaken fenerbahçe, and tonight’s match is the fenerbahçe-beşiktaş derby. if fenerbahçe loses tonight, they will also lose second place, and to stay in the title race, they will first need to beat trabzon. they absolutely must take tonight’s match very seriously.

I think we'll still manage to become the champions. But we need to focus on improving our game as a team as I said. By the way I think Fenerbahçe will lose points in the derby today.

It seems Galatasaray will struggle significantly without Osimhen.

Icardi is already leaving Galatasaray at the end of the season. His physical strength isn't enough for the Champions League, but his current form isn't sufficient for the Turkish league either. He was so ineffective yesterday that Galatasaray played with one less player. It's likely that Icardi and Galatasaray will part ways at the end of the season. Trabzonspor deservedly won and declared their presence in the championship race.

Galatasaray has an away match against Göztepe on Wednesday. I think Barış Alper will be in the starting eleven in the forward position against Göztepe, while Sane will play as a winger. Icardi will be on the bench. He will come on in the last 20 minutes of the match if needed.

[Uhde]

Yeah. Osimhen is very crucial for Galatasaray. As far as i can recall, Galatasaray has only lost to Beşiktaş and Kocaelispor in the league matches he has played in since his arrival. We are talking about around 60 matches as the second season comes to an end. you can see just how influential he is from that.

I think we only need to watch a few of Osimhen's matches to understand how effective he is. The Nigerian player currently plays with the same effort and fight against every team. His ability to tire out the opposing defense, his fighting spirit, and his fantastic play always have a positive impact on Galatasaray. He also impresses the fans and the team with his passionate play. He's truly like a hero.

i think a great alternative to Osimhen would be Onuachu.
Onuachu is an excellent target man. In my opinion, he’s the best striker in the league. He’s effective both in the air and on the ground. He will most likely be the league’s top scorer and he fully deserves it.

[yenerbatmaz]

Both Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe managed the first half. Each team had only one dangerous attack, that's all.
If Nene had scored in the chance he had in the 28th second, it would have been good for Fenerbahçe, but he hit the ball very poorly. Ederson made a good save on Oh's header. It wasn't a very dangerous chance, but it could have been a goal.
Asensio's injury in the first half was bad for Fenerbahçe. He will most likely be out for two weeks. Kerem or Cherif should come on for Nene in the second half. Fenerbahçe's left wing was not active at all.

Galatasaray football team could do only 1 goal in this match and they lose this match at the end because their performance was not enough to win this match. Singo was a only person who did goal for his team and shots of that team were 14 in this match and 3 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was excellent in this match and that was 61 percent in this match and opponent team possession was very weak in this match because they did not give good effort to possess the football. The shots of Trabzonspor football team were 13 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 39 percent in this match.

The second half has started and the lineups are the same. Fenerbahçe absolutely needs to win this match at home. They've been waiting a long time for Galatasaray to drop points this week. Furthermore, considering Galatasaray still has one more match to play, securing three points is crucial. Galatasaray is still the strongest contender for the championship, but Fenerbahçe wants to improve their chances today because they still have a derby match to play against each other.

[el kaka22]

While I do agree that Osimhen is a major part of this team, there are two things to consider about this situation. First of all, this is Osimhen we are talking about, in all reality he should not even be at turkish team, this dude is 75 million euros, nearly four times the highest transfer that anyone has ever done up until this year, if you remove this year, he was paid 4 times more than any player has ever been paid for, of course he is way above their level, and of course he makes them amazing.

Secondly, it is not JUST about the fact that they lacked Osimhen, it was also about they do not have a replacement for him neither. I love Icardi, he was my favourite back when he played for Inter, he was loved, and even at PSG he was decent but at Inter he was amazing, but lets face it, dude is basically not playing at all anymore, he just doesn't even care. So if Osimhen was out, but they had a decent replacement, they could have still done alright, but with Osimhen gone, and Icardi being terrible, of course it's normal they lose.

[RaltcoinsB]

As a Fenerbahçe fan, it's really bad that we couldn't get three points in this match. The game is almost over and Fenerbahçe has been awarded a penalty. If VAR doesn't overturn it, Fenerbahçe could score. In that case, we could get back in the championship race. We have to say that Beşiktaş put up a very good fight and goalkeeper Ersin played very well.
