Champions League: What Lamine Yamal said about Osimhen’s disallowed goal

According to a report by Daily Post on Wednesday October 14, 2026, Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has admitted that Victor Osimhen’s disallowed goal could have made their Champions League clash against Galatasaray much more difficult.

Osimhen thought he had doubled Galatasaray’s lead with a powerful header in the first half of Tuesday’s encounter. However, his effort was ruled out following a VAR review, denying the Turkish side what could have been a crucial advantage.

Barcelona eventually fought back to secure a convincing 4-1 victory, scoring four goals to claim all three points in Istanbul.

Reacting to the incident, Yamal acknowledged that the outcome could have been different if Osimhen’s goal had stood.

“If Galatasaray’s second goal hadn’t been disallowed, our job in Istanbul would have been very tough,” Yamal said, as quoted by Le Marca Sports.

The teenager’s comments underline the importance of the decision, as Galatasaray would have held a two-goal advantage before Barcelona mounted their comeback.

Despite Osimhen’s frustration, Barcelona showed their attacking quality to turn the game around and leave Istanbul with an impressive Champions League victory.
