Osimhen Mocks Fenerbahçe After Scoring with Bandage Celebration

Victor Osimhen delivered the perfect response to Fenerbahçe’s pre-derby complaints by scoring Galatasaray’s opening goal in the heated clash.

The Nigerian striker, who played with a protective bandage on his broken arm, had been the subject of a formal appeal from Fenerbahçe to the Turkish Football Federation, claiming his use of the guard posed a health risk.

Starting in the XI despite the controversy, Osimhen struck decisively and celebrated with a pointed gesture. After showing the bandage on his arm, he made a crying motion, a clear message to Fenerbahçe fans and officials, accompanied by the phrase: ‘Don’t cry lantern.’

The incident added fuel to an already fiery derby atmosphere, with Galatasaray’s star forward proving once again why he is considered one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe.
