Brutal Strike: Mauro Icardi’s Shot Tops 110 km/h in Galatasaray Win

During Galatasaray’s dominant 3–0 victory over Çaykur Rizespor in the Turkish Süper Lig, Mauro Icardi delivered a moment that instantly went viral. In the 81st minute, the Argentine striker unleashed a thunderous shot that smashed off the post with such force that official measurements clocked it at 110 km/h.

The Istanbul giants controlled the match from start to finish, securing a convincing win that strengthens their push for the league title and extends their advantage over rivals like Fenerbahçe.

Goals came early and decisively. Barış Alper Yılmaz opened the scoring, Yunus Akgün doubled the lead, and Victor Osimhen sealed the result with a high-difficulty finish. Although Icardi’s strike did not end in a goal, the sheer power of the attempt shook the post and became one of the most talked-about moments of the match.

According to Turkish media reports and social media reactions, the impact was so violent that some fans claimed they “thought the post had broken” when the ball crashed against it. Clips of the shot quickly spread across platforms like X, fueling viral discussion.

Icardi is currently enjoying a special chapter in Turkey. He recently became the all-time top foreign scorer in Galatasaray history, surpassing club legend Gheorghe Hagi with 73 goals across all competitions.

Despite his impact, the striker’s future remains under discussion. His contract with Galatasaray expires in June 2026, and the club is weighing the possibility of offering a renewal that would include a reduced salary compared to his current deal.

Coming off the bench in the second half, Icardi showed that he remains physically sharp and highly competitive, even after spending months sidelined by a knee injury. His return added authority to the win and helped Galatasaray maintain its grip on the top of the Süper Lig table.

Beyond the jaw-dropping 110 km/h strike, Icardi continues to be a central figure in Galatasaray’s attack—combining goals, presence in the box, and experience as the club pushes toward the decisive stretch of the season.
