Osimhen Praises Yılmaz’s ‘African-Style’ Grit After Galatasaray’s Title Triumph
Galatasaray secured a dramatic 4-2 win over Antalyaspor to seal their fourth consecutive Turkish Super Lig crown. Victor Osimhen starred with a brilliant brace, taking his season tally to 22 goals. After the victory, Osimhen singled out midfielder Barış Alper Yılmaz for his relentless energy. “He plays like an African footballer—ambitious, always fighting, very hungry and very strong,” Osimhen said on a live stream. He added that Mertens also admires Yılmaz’s never-give-up attitude. Yılmaz enjoyed a standout campaign with eight goals and 11 assists. His tireless runs and physicality have made him a fan favourite and the perfect complement to Osimhen in attack. Looking ahead, Osimhen’s 59 goals since joining the club two seasons ago underline why he remains one of Europe’s most lethal forwards. His form will be key when the transfer window opens in June.
