Galatasaray Celebrates Osimhen’s Stunning Bicycle Kick in Victory Over Antalyaspor

Galatasaray was left in awe of Victor Osimhen’s breathtaking bicycle kick goal during Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Antalyaspor. The Turkish champions hailed the moment as more than just a photograph, describing it as a work of art in a statement on their Instagram page.

Osimhen’s spectacular strike came two minutes into added time, sealing the win for Galatasaray in the Süper Lig Game Week 9 match at Corendon Airlines Park in Antalya. This marked the Nigerian striker’s third league goal of the season; he previously scored in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa before being sidelined by a hamstring injury.

His contribution was pivotal in helping the two-time defending champions regain momentum, especially as title rivals Besiktas dropped points over the weekend. The pressure on manager Okan Buruk eased considerably after a significant victory against Fenerbahce in the Intercontinental Derby two weeks ago, but the unpredictable nature of football meant his tactics were once again scrutinized following consecutive collapses.

Without Osimhen, Galatasaray had previously let a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 against Latvian side Riga in the Europa League. However, they rebounded with a narrow 1-0 win over Alanyaspor last Sunday, positioning themselves well heading into the international break.

Osimhen, who joined the club on loan from Napoli in September, has caught the attention of several suitors, including Chelsea, as Galatasaray works diligently to secure his move on a permanent basis.
