Galatasaray dropped points in 5 of the 10 matches that Osimhen did not play; the defeat against Konyaspor once again highlighted the importance of the Nigerian star.
In the 23rd week of the Super League, Galatasaray, who lost 2-0 away to Tümosan Konyaspor, felt the absence of Victor Osimhen once again.
HE WAS THE STAR OF THE JUVENTUS MATCH
The Nigerian striker, who has caught the attention of European giants, received applause for his performance against Juventus. However, Osimhen's absence due to pain cost the yellow-reds dearly in the away match against Konyaspor.
50% LOSS
This season, Osimhen has missed a total of 10 official matches due to injury, yellow card suspension, and the Africa Cup of Nations, and the matches he did not play were tough for Galatasaray.
In the absence of the star who has not played in 6 matches in the Super League, Galatasaray won against Eyüp, Konyaspor (home), Gençlerbirliği, and Kasımpaşa, while they drew with Gaziantep FK and lost to Konyaspor away.
In Europe, losses were experienced against Frankfurt and Union Saint-Gilloise. The yellow-reds, who defeated Trabzonspor in the Super Cup, lost to Fenerbahçe in the final. In 5 of the 10 matches that Osimhen did not play, points were dropped.
IMPACT BEYOND STATISTICS
This season, Osimhen has produced 15 goals and 5 assists in 23 official matches, playing a decisive role in the team's playing structure not only with his scoring contribution but also with his attacking pressure and defensive contribution. With the loss to Konyaspor, it has once again become clear how critical a player Osimhen is for Galatasaray.
