Galatasaray's top scorer, Victor Osimhen, has faced criticism for allegedly getting into a physical altercation with Villarreal defender Santiago Mourino during a pre-season friendly match. The incident unfolded as Osimhen was attempting to navigate a dangerous area in the penalty box at Galatasaray's home ground, RAMS Park. Osimhen expressed dissatisfaction with Mourino's body movement, leading to a confrontation.
Following the match, Villarreal's head coach, Inigo Perez, dismissed Osimhen's actions, stating that the striker had "attacked" his player. Perez further asserted that Osimhen should have received a red card instead of the yellow card he was given, highlighting the severity of the incident. "There is not much to say about the football, because the opposing team didn’t come onto the field to play football, but to fight," Perez remarked.
