The Nigerian striker, who was on target in the intense Istanbul showdown, expressed strong confidence in his ability and his role in the team as the season approaches its final stretch.
Speaking after Sunday’s clash, Osimhen made it clear that his focus remains on delivering goals whenever the opportunity comes.
“Give me a chance and I’ll find the net against any opponent. That’s my responsibility, and I believe I’m doing it well. We’re getting closer to winning the title,” he said.
His comments followed a fiercely contested derby that boosted Galatasaray’s grip at the top of the table with a vital win over their biggest rivals.
Beyond his performance on the pitch, Osimhen also reacted to off-field issues surrounding the match, including reported complaints from Fenerbahçe before kickoff.
He played down the concerns, stating that he couldn’t relate to the complaints.
“I don’t really pay attention to social media, but I heard about it at training. I don’t understand the issue. You’re facing one of the strongest teams in the league, so complaining about things like that doesn’t add up,” he said.
The remarks highlight the intense rivalry between both clubs as they battle closely for the league title with only a few games left.
Osimhen’s consistent form has been key to Galatasaray’s title push, with the forward stepping up in big moments throughout the campaign.
As the race for the trophy reaches its climax, Galatasaray will continue to depend heavily on his goal-scoring ability to secure domestic success.
