O Galatasaray won its 23rd Turkish league title this Tuesday (30), by winning with authority (4-1) in its visit to Ankaragücü, with two goals from Mauro Icardi.
With one game left in the season, the club with the most titles in Turkey can no longer be reached by Fenerbahçe, in second place, which has not won the tournament since 2014.
This season Galatasaray has Argentine striker Mauro Icardi (who has already scored 21 goals and provided 7 assists) and Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira.
Icardi, who joined the club on loan from Paris Saint Germain at the beginning of the season, made a new double this Tuesday.
The good ones will definitely win in the end…💛❤️

Four years after the last title, ‘Gala’ qualifies directly for the next Champions League.
The players commanded by coach Okan Buruk will celebrate the title on Sunday in front of their fans, in the derby against Fenerbahçe.
Galatasaray has been reborn this season after being 13th in the last Süper Lig, the lowest placing in its history. Last year, the champion was Trabzonspor.
In addition to the signings of Icardi and Torreira, the club was reinforced with the Belgian Dries Mertens, the Portuguese Sérgio Oliveira and the Italian Nicolo Zaniolo, the three coming from A league Italian.
