Mauro Icardi's remarks on Erden Timur in his 4th championship statement

Mauro Icardi, who became champion for the 4th time in a row with the yellow-red team, said, "I have been saying it since I came to Turkey; I arrived at a difficult moment.

We were not as successful as we wanted in the previous year. I came here on the word of the people who trusted me, and I gave them a promise.

The most important of them was Erden Timur. We made history in four years. We equaled the record that Fatih Terim broke years ago. We feel great honor and pride."

Speaking to Galatasaray's YouTube channel, the 33-year-old striker stated, "To tell you the truth, I felt relieved the moment the final whistle blew in the Antalyaspor match. I can say we said, 'Phew!' This season was not as easy as we expected. We started the season as the champions of Turkey, but it is a long road.

Teams like ours must be ambitious because they consist of very high-level players. Being eliminated from the cup was also sad. I think everyone said a 'phew' when we became champions.

I tried to respond on the pitch to the Galatasaray fans and the love they showed. I had a difficult injury, but we reached the top of Europe and Turkey. It honors me greatly to do my best.

All players know today that Galatasaray is a very big team. I enjoy being here every moment, every day. I will continue to do my best until the very last moment."
