Reacting after the game, Buruk expressed his admiration for Osimhen's goal, highlighting its importance as it showcases the quality in the Turkish league.
"It's a very nice goal. It's a goal that will make a splash in Europe and show our league. We need to show the quality of the Turkish league. In this sense, it's an important goal," Buruk told the club's official website.
After being ruled out by injury for a few weeks, Victor Osimhen made a brilliant return for Galatasaray, scoring a stunning bicycle kick in their 3-0 win over Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
The Nigerian forward made an immediate impact after he came off the bench to replace Argentina striker Mauro Icardi.
Despite having an apparent goal disallowed for offside just three minutes after entering the match, Osimhen didn’t lose momentum.
In added time, he executed a breathtaking bicycle kick that not only secured the victory but also positioned him as a strong candidate for goal of the season.
The goal, initially under VAR review, was eventually confirmed, sparking jubilant celebrations from Osimhen and his teammates.
