According to a report by Daily Post on Thursday October 22, 2026, Victor Osimhen has hit back at his critics after facing questions over his recent performances for Galatasaray, insisting that nobody can teach him how to score goals.

The Nigerian striker came under scrutiny following Galatasaray’s 4-1 defeat to Barcelona and their narrow 1-0 victory over Gençlerbirliği, with his performances attracting criticism from some observers.

However, Osimhen responded in impressive fashion on Wednesday night, helping Galatasaray secure a 4-2 victory over his former club Lille. The 27-year-old found the back of the net and was subsequently named Man of the Match for his contribution.

Speaking after the game, the striker made it clear that he was not worried about the negative comments, stressing that he had developed the mentality to overcome difficulties throughout his career.

“I come from a place where I’m not afraid, I don’t fear difficulties. No one can tell me how to sprint, how to play, how to score goals—I already do these things, and that’s why I’m one of the world’s best strikers,” Osimhen said.

His response reflects the confidence that has become a defining feature of his career, particularly as he continues to shoulder significant expectations at Galatasaray.

The forward's performance against Lille also provided a timely reminder of his attacking quality, as he helped his team return to winning ways following their disappointing result against Barcelona.

Osimhen will now be looking to build on that display and maintain his scoring form as Galatasaray pursue their ambitions in domestic and European competitions.
