Osimhen's Offside Record Marks Galatasaray's 4-1 Loss
Victor Osimhen returned from injury to play for Galatasaray in their UEFA Champions League group stage match against Barcelona, held in Istanbul. Despite Galatasaray initially taking the lead through Aleksey Batrakov, the match turned after Osimhen assisted Baris Alper Yilmaz, whose goal was disallowed for offside.
Following this, Barcelona dominated the game, scoring four unanswered goals from João Cancelo, Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon, and Karim Adeyemi. Osimhen struggled to impact the game, being flagged offside six times, which is the highest number recorded by any player in a single UEFA Champions League match this season.
This defeat leaves Galatasaray without a point after two group stage matches, increasing the pressure on their upcoming clash against Lille, which is crucial for their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage.
