Super Lig: Youssef En-Nesyri reaches new heights with Fenerbahçe!

Youssef En-Nesyri continues to set the Turkish league alight! On Monday, May 26, despite Fenerbahçe’s heavy 4-1 defeat to Hatayspor, the Moroccan sharpshooter found the net for the 19th time this league season, setting a new personal best.

At 27, the former Sevilla favorite is simply enjoying the finest season of his career. His previous record was set in 2020-2021, when he scored 18 goals in La Liga. Now, he’s eclipsed that achievement with remarkable efficiency and consistency that has left the Istanbul club’s supporters in awe.

A goal in defeat, a record set

Against Hatayspor, En-Nesyri gave his side an early lead by opening the scoring in the 26th minute.

Unfortunately, Fenerbahçe then crumbled, conceding four goals. Still, the Moroccan’s strike was no mere consolation: it marks a turning point in his career and proves he’s become one of Europe’s most reliable goal scorers this season.

Chasing 20 league goals?

The season isn’t over yet. There’s one last matchday, with a crucial clash against Konyaspor on the horizon. En-Nesyri, who has now scored in three consecutive matches, will have the opportunity to hit the symbolic 20-goal mark.

Counting his tallies in the domestic cup (4), Europa League (6), and for the national team (3), the Moroccan international boasts an impressive total of 32 goals across all competitions.

An exceptional season that cements his place as an indispensable leader.
