Galatasaray were officially crowned Turkish Super Lig champions for the 2024/25 season following a dominant 3-0 win over Kayserispor.
The match, held at a packed Rams Park in Istanbul, was a celebration from start to finish, not just for the football on display, but also for a touching family moment that stole the spotlight.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a trademark bullet header, his 36th goal across all competitions and 25th in the league.
His effort set the tone for the evening, as Galatasaray went on to secure the title with further goals from Barıs Alper Yılmaz and veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who scored in a surprise move.

The clip of the moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the touching father-daughter connection and calling it one of the highlights of the season.
A season to remember for Osimhen
Osimhen’s loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray has turned out to be one of the biggest success stories of the season.
Not only has he delivered on the pitch, but he is also found a deep connection with the club and its supporters.
Having already scored a brace in the Turkish Cup final and now securing the league title, Osimhen ends the season with two major trophies and a beautiful memory involving his daughter.
The Turkish club’s fans will now hope Galatasaray can make his stay permanent after such a memorable campaign.
