Galatasaray lose 4-1 to Barcelona in a UEFA Champions League match at Rams Park in Istanbul, with Victor Osimhen starting but failing to score or make a major impact. Barcelona come from behind, after Galatasaray take an early lead through Aleksey Batrakov. A goal for Galatasaray is also ruled out following a VAR check, before Barcelona score four times through João Cancelo, Fermín López, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi.
After the match, multiple figures discuss why Osimhen’s night is quiet. Karim Adeyemi says Barcelona’s defence is able to contain him. Turkish refereeing and football commentary also points to issues around Osimhen’s fitness and the quality of service he receives. Another analyst tells Galatasaray’s coach Okan Buruk to address Osimhen’s frequent offside problems, noting he has been caught offside multiple times in the game, while another pundit criticises his lack of center-forward influence.
