Galatasaray fans have taken to Instagram to drag Cameroon footballer Vincent Aboubakar after Victor Osimhen scored a brace in the club’s 3-2 win over Samsunspor on Friday, December 5.
The reaction came just days after Aboubakar heavily criticised Osimhen’s quality. He claimed the Super Eagles striker offers little as a footballer beyond scoring goals.

According to Aboubakar, Victor Osimhen’s club teammate, Mauro Icardi, and Besiktas striker Tammy Abraham are better footballers than the Nigerian.
Victor Osimhen only has goals - Vincent Aboubakar
Vincent Aboubakar sparked controversy earlier this week when he said:
"Mauro Icardi plays better football than Victor Osimhen. Osimhen only has goals. If you take away that, what else does he have? Put Tammy Abraham in Galatasaray, he will score more goals."
The Cameroonian legend’s comments quickly went viral, drawing criticism from both Nigerian fans and Galatasaray supporters, who felt he was disrespecting their striker.
Aboubakar’s comments went viral on social media shortly before Galatasaray's game with Samsunspor.
In the match, Osimhen delivered the perfect response, scoring a brace, including a 93rd-minute overhead kick winner to hand Galatasaray a 3-2 win, and secure all three points for his team.

Osimhen’s goals immediately triggered online reactions. Galatasaray fans insisted that he had “silenced” Aboubakar without saying a word.
The club supporters flooded Aboubakar’s Instagram page shortly after the match, trolling the Cameroonian striker for his earlier remarks.
Many dropped laughing emojis, memes of Osimhen, and comments suggesting Aboubakar should “focus on his own career” after he was recently dropped from the Cameroon squad for AFCON 2025.
Some reactions compiled by Legit.ng include:
@adult_615: “Osimhen is far better than you.”

@iamalleydre: “What is the work of a striker? You just want to run a fellow African down but Osimhen is better.”
@Danjay366: “Failed striker.”
Since arriving at Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen has become one of the most influential players in the Turkish Super Lig, winning a domestic double in 2024/25 and finishing as the league’s top scorer.
His brace against Samsunspor took his tally this season to 11 goals, five goals in the league and six in the Champions League, where he is the second top scorer behind Kylian Mbappe.
