ICARDI MADE HISTORY!
Icardi knows no rivals
Mauro Icardi, Cim Bom’s biggest offensive trump card in the Beşiktaş fight, does not only stand out with his derby performance. Champions League qualifiers, Champions League matches and Super League… The Argentinian striker manages to score goals against almost every opponent he faces, regardless of the lane. While Icardi played in 15 official matches in all competitions with Galatasaray this season, he managed to find the net in 12 of them. The experienced football player, who scored 14 goals and made 4 assists during this period, missed only 4 matches (Ljubljana (d), Kayserispor (d), Copenhagen and Ankaragücü matches.
Mauro Icardi surpassed Gheorghe Hagi with 8 goals and became the foreign player who scored the most goals in derbies with Galatasaray jersey with 10 goals.
No such series!
There is no big match that Icardi misses. The South American star scored goals in the 7 matches he played against Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor in his Turkish career and found the net 10 times. Icardi, who won the Beşiktaş derbies with 2 goals in Seyrantepe last season, also had the only goal in the match lost in İnönü. The Argentinian superstar shook Beşiktaş’s net twice this season and brought 3 points to his team. There has never been a player who has made such a consecutive series in so few matches.
