Galatasaray champion: The drama in the Turkish league has come to an end

At the conclusion of a thrilling matchday on May 9, 2026, Galatasaray officially secured the 26th championship title in its history following a 4-2 victory over Antalyaspor. As reported in Haber Gündem, the victory secured the title for the team with just one matchday remaining in the season, bringing their total to 77 points.

As detailed in Haber Gündem, the team fell behind early and went into halftime trailing, but staged an impressive second-half comeback that included a penalty by Osimhen. The Haber Gündem channel noted that after the match, the team's players declared that the club "will chase the championship anew every year."

At the same time, their bitter rival Fenerbahçe struggled against Konyaspor. Fan channels such as FENERBAHÇE HABERLERİ covered the preparations for the away game, but in the end, it was Galatasaray's victory that determined the fate of the title. The Haber Gündem channel emphasized that after securing the title, Galatasaray's social media accounts posted targeted "jabs" at Fenerbahçe, which added to the well-known tension between the clubs.

Before the matches began, the situation in the table was extremely tense. The Sansürsüz Medya +18 channel presented real-time data during the first halves, with Galatasaray having 75 points and Fenerbahçe 73. The current win marks a fourth consecutive championship for the Istanbul club.
