He continued, “We show mutual respect to each other. I think he can give me the ball in the same situation. He is a name that has proven himself with what he has done in football.”

On the pitch, Osimhen’s opener arrived when he met Morata’s pinpoint far-post pass, slamming the ball home to give Galatasaray a 1-0 lead.

His second goal was courtesy of a brilliant delivery from Barış Alper Yılmaz down the right, which Osimhen dispatched with precision to make it 3-0.

The Nigerian striker sealed his hat-trick in style, racing onto Yunus Akgün’s exquisite through ball before hammering a low shot past the goalkeeper, pushing the score to 4-0.

With this dazzling display, Osimhen surged to the top of the Super Lig scoring charts, solidifying his position as Galatasaray’s talisman and one of the most feared strikers in Turkish football.
