Why Victor Osimhen was angry with Gala teammates despite five-goal masterclass [WATCH]

Galatasaray demolished Juventus on Tuesday night, but the headlines aren't just about the scoreline, they're about the fiery post-match moment that revealed everything you need to know about the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s mentality.

Despite the dominant victory, Osimhen was caught on camera visibly frustrated with his teammates, needing to be consoled by fellow players after the final whistle while gesturing emphatically about what went wrong.

Yes, you read that right: what went wrong in a three-goal Champions League victory.

The viral video shows Osimhen in full passion mode, reminiscent of his heated exchange with Ademola lookman during AFCON 2025, demanding more from a team that had already put five past one of Europe's historic giants.

The scoreboard read comfortable. Osimhen's body language screamed unsatisfied.

The source of his anger? Lack of service in the closing stages. Even with Juventus broken and a man down after Cabal's red card, Osimhen believed his teammates should have been hunting for the kill, more crosses, more clinical passing, more exploitation of a tiring Italian defense.

For some players, 5-2 is job done. For Osimhen, it was a missed chance to truly humiliate the opposition. That's not arrogance. That's an elite mentality refusing to accept anything less than maximum damage.

Noa Lang, who scored Galatasaray's fourth goal thanks directly to Osimhen's selfless assist, quickly moved to downplay any suggestions of dressing room tension.

"He wanted us to deliver more crosses from the wing," Lang explained to the press. "Then I said to him: 'You know, I'm always looking for him, plus we've got an extra man. We just need to keep the ball in the team and wait for the right moment.' But that's all part of the game. I'm a winner too. That matter's well and truly closed now."

When asked about rumours that he'd told Osimhen he was now the primary striker after his goal, Lang shut it down immediately: "No, of course not. I scored the second goal thanks to him."

Translation: mutual respect remains intact. The frustration wasn't personal, it was professional. Osimhen wanted more. Lang understood. Both moved on because that's what winners do.

This incident reveals something crucial about Osimhen's impact in Istanbul: he's not just Galatasaray's €75 million record signing, he's their standard-bearer for what elite football demands.

A three-goal lead against Juventus? Not enough. Comfortable possession with a man advantage? Still room for improvement.

That hunger doesn't make teammates comfortable. It makes them better.

The optics looked heated on the pitch, sure. But Galatasaray's problem is actually their greatest asset: too many players who refuse to settle, even when winning convincingly.

Osimhen brought that relentless mentality from Napoli's Scudetto win. Lang clearly shares it. And when those competitive fires collide mid-celebration, it's not toxicity, it's two winners arguing about how to win more.

Some will see petulance. Others will see exactly why Galatasaray spent their entire transfer budget on one player. Osimhen wasn't angry because his team lost. He was angry because they stopped hunting when there was still prey to catch.

That's the difference between good strikers and great ones. Good strikers celebrate 5-2 victories. Great strikers demand to know why it wasn't 7-2.

The matter's closed now, according to Lang. But the message was sent, received, and understood by everyone in that Galatasaray dressing room: Victor Osimhen didn't come to Istanbul to win comfortably. He came to win completely. Every single time.
