Osimhen faces criticism after Galatasaray title setback

Former Beşiktaş midfielder Sinan Engin has slammed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, reminding him he's 'not bigger than Galatasaray.' The criticism follows Osimhen's subpar performance in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Samsunspor - a match that could have secured the Super Lig title with two games remaining.

Engin expressed concerns over Osimhen's attitude, noting the Nigerian now argues with referees and teammates. He specifically criticized a poor back pass from Osimhen that led to goalkeeper Günay Güvenç's 63rd-minute dismissal for handling outside the penalty area.

While Engin acknowledged Osimhen's excellent performances during his loan last season, he voiced disappointment about what he views as declining discipline. However, many Galatasaray fans disagree, pointing to Osimhen's recent form where he has either scored or assisted in each of his last eleven Süper Lig matches.

For Nigerian supporters, this highlights the pressure on Osimhen to maintain top form for both club and potentially the national team.
