Osimhen, on loan from Napoli since September, has been a key figure in Galatasaray’s title run, contributing 25 goals across the season. Galatasaray have been in command of the league since the third round of fixtures and have now secured their place in the Champions League group stage for next season.
Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera capped the victory by scoring a late penalty, ensuring a comfortable win in front of theirhome fans.
For Fenerbahce, defeat means they finish runners-up for the fourth consecutive season, extending their title drought to 11 years. The pressure is mounting on coach José Mourinho, who is reportedly considering his future after a turbulent campaign. Mourinho’s side failed to win any of their four Istanbul derby matches against Galatasaray and Besiktas, which ultimately cost them the title.
Tensions have been running high in recent weeks. After Fenerbahce’s Turkish Cup quarter-final loss to Galatasaray last month, Mourinho was seen grabbing the face of rival coach Okan Buruk in a heated exchange.
With Galatasaray now champions, all eyes will be on whether Mourinho sees out the final year of his contract at Fenerbahce.
