In the last match of the season, Mauro Icardi scored two goals and led Galatasaray Istanbul to a 3-1 victory over Konyaspor. Throughout the season, the Argentine was impressed with his efficiency in front of the opponents' goals, finishing with 25 goals and eight assists. He had no equal either in the scorers' ranking or the overall points standings of the Turkish league.
There are plenty of reasons to celebrate as Galatasaray became Turkish champions ahead of their great rival, Fenerbahce. Mauro Icardi was one of the architects of this success.
Galatasaray fans are celebrating the success. After the away match against Konyaspor, the celebration moved to the stadium in Istanbul. Above it, an extraordinary light show depicting Mauro Icardi appeared.
The show was prepared using drones. After scoring a goal, Mauro Icardi's hands formed in his characteristic celebration pose. The Argentine places his hands next to his ears.
The husband of Wanda Nara rebuilt his career in Turkey. Previously, he had broken scoring records in Italy with Inter Milan, but the transfer to French club Paris Saint-Germain was wrong. Mauro Icardi spent a lot of time on the bench in Paris.
The Galatasaray forward did not receive a call-up to the Copa América by the Argentina national team. This is due to personal history. In the past, Mauro Icardi took the wife of Maxi Lopez, who was friends with Lionel Messi. Most Argentine players sided with Maxi Lopez, which led to Mauro Icardi not being accepted into the national team.
