Galatasaray's Okan Buruk urged to fix Osimhen's offside issues

Okan Buruk, the coach of Galatasaray, has been urged to resolve Victor Osimhen's ongoing offside problem following the striker's six offside calls during a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League. Turkish football commentator Hüseyin Özkök criticized Osimhen's positioning, stating that Buruk must find a solution to maximize the striker's effectiveness.

Osimhen contributed to six of Galatasaray's eight offside offences, which limited the team's attacking potential against Barcelona's high defensive line. In the match, Osimhen had only 12 touches, attempted three passes, completed two, and had one shot off target.

He won three of nine duels and lost possession six times. This match marked the first time this season that Osimhen did not score or assist, ending his streak of direct goal contributions.

Despite the disappointing performance, he remains a key player for Galatasaray, and Buruk needs to improve the coordination of Osimhen's attacking runs to avoid similar issues in future matches.
