Former Turkish match official Ahmet Çakar recently offered high praise for Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen following the striker’s exceptional performance during a 3-0 triumph over Rizespor. This clinical victory propelled Galatasaray to the summit of the Turkish Süper Lig, establishing a commanding three-point lead over rivals Fenerbahçe after 21 matches. While the team celebrated the win, the individual brilliance of the Nigerian international captured the attention of the veteran referee and local media alike.
Speaking to the Sabah newspaper, Çakar marveled at the physical attributes and technical execution that allowed the forward to find the back of the net from a difficult position. He suggested that the striker possesses physical capabilities that transcend those of his peers on the pitch. The pundit noted that the combination of speed and reach makes the forward a unique threat in the final third of the field.
“Osimhen scored a superhuman goal,” Çakar told Sabah newspaper (via Habersarikirmizi). “He has an anatomical structure unlike that of a normal human. He moves so fast with his long legs and scores a goal from an almost impossible angle. It seems very simple, but it is not.”
This landmark strike holds historical significance beyond the match result, as it officially makes Osimhen the fourth-highest scoring foreign player in the history of Galatasaray. By surpassing the tallies of several club legends, the striker continues to cement his legacy in Istanbul while spearheading the club’s charge for another domestic title. His consistent scoring record and physical dominance remain the primary catalysts for Galatasaray’s current success in the league.
