On August 9, the opening game of the Turkish Premier League in the 25-26 season will be played against Galatasaray at home. Osmaine ended his loan this summer and officially joined Galatasaray with a transfer fee of 75 million euros, setting a record for the Turkish Super League, but he was not on the roster in this game. In the absence of Osmeen, Galatasaray still won a big victory. 3-0! The defending champion of the Turkish Super League won 2 penalty kicks, and a good start to 11-10. Mourinho's victory was difficult.

Despite Osmayen's absence, Galatasaray's starting lineup still has a net worth of 152 million euros and Gaziantep's 16.2 million euros. In this game, Bayern former player Sane made his debut in Galatasaray. Galatasaray also has Torreira, who has played for Arsenal, former Juventus player Lemina, Tottenham former player Sanchez, former Freiburg star Sauloi, and Zagnolo is still sitting on Galatasaray's bench.

The first 12 minutes of the game, the Galatasaray player fell to the ground in the penalty area. After the referee called a penalty, Barish Irmaz took the penalty and scored the ball. Four minutes later, Ilmaz passed by another cross in the counterattack to assist Elmali in pushing and scored, and the score came to 2-0. In stoppage time, Galatasaray received another penalty and Ilmaz scored twice.

Galatasaray 3-0 Gaziantep, and the suspense of the game seems to have ended. In the 64th minute of the second half, the referee showed a red card to Gaziantep goalkeeper Bozan and sent him off. Galatasaray led by 3 goals and played one more player. Gaziantep was too passive. Galatasaray finally won 3-0, which made a good start for the new season.

In last season's game, Fenerbahce, coached by Mourinho, ranked behind Galatasaray by 11 points, witnessing Galatasaray achieve two consecutive league championships. Last season, Mourinho criticized the Turkish Super League and the referees many times, believing that the Turkish Super League favors Galatasaray. Indeed, Galatasaray profited from referees' penalty in many games, and Demir Sports once chose to withdraw from the midway because he was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.

With Galatasaray's lineup configuration and the Turkish Premier League's call for them to be favored, Galatasaray is an unbeatable opponent for Fenerbahce, who is coached by Mourinho. If nothing unexpected happens, Galatasaray will achieve three consecutive championships in the Turkish Super League this season. Mourinho won the league championship last time, it can be traced back to the Chelsea era in 2015.
