The news has caused a big buzz not just in Istanbul, but around the whole football community: Galatasaray have officially signed Nigerian star player Victor Osimhen from Napoli for a huge fee of £64. 8 million (€75 million). This isn't just a record-breaking transfer for Turkish football; it's a monumental statement of intent, a declaration that the Turkish champions are ready to ascend to the next level, both domestically and on the grand European stage. Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray permanently after a very successful loan period during the 2024-25 season. He helped the team win the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup, scoring an amazing 37 goals in 41 games across all competitions, including 26 goals in the league, marks the culmination of a protracted transfer saga. It's a move that underscores Galatasaray's ambition, their financial muscle, and their ability to convince one of the world's most coveted strikers to commit his prime years to the Süper Lig. The Crown...
Germany may have been denied by VAR in the first half, but they were grateful to those in control in the second following a wild few minutes, while Denmark was left cursing the technology.
The tournament hosts were down a goal six minutes into the second half when Joachim Andersen hammered in a loose ball from a set piece, only for VAR to reverse the result due to a very thin offside call.Germany promptly ran down the other end, and VAR intervened once more in their favour when the snickometer revealed a handball by the same player, resulting in a penalty for Julian Nagelsmann's side.
That allowed Kai Havertz to put his team ahead from the spot, capping a dreadful few minutes for the Danes.
47’ mins - Andersen scores for Denmark
49’ mins - goal disallowed for offside
51’ mins - Handball by Andersen, penalty to Germany
53’ mins - Havertz scores for Germany
What a change of fortune for Germany in the space of 5 mins 😮
