Victor Osimhen says Monday night’s victory over Fenerbahçe is for Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk, NEWSUNPLUG reports.
The Yellow and Reds defeated their fierce rivals 2-1 in the intercontinental derby at the RAMS Park.

“We love our coach Okan Buruk very much. Beyond being our technical director, we love him like a father,” Osimhen was quoted by Sporx.
“He’s a very good person both on and off the field. We wanted to gift him victories against both Lille and Fenerbahçe, and we succeeded.
