Victor Osimhen Eyes Historic Champions League Record For Galatasaray

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is just one goal away from etching his name into Galatasaray’s history books as he prepares for a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.

If Osimhen scores tomorrow, he will become the first player in Galatasaray’s history to find the back of the net in seven consecutive international matches. Currently, he shares the record with Burak Yılmaz, who achieved a similar feat during the 2012–2013 season.

Fresh off a hat-trick for Nigeria in their 3–0 win over Benin Republic during the international break, the Super Eagles forward is flying high with confidence. Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk deliberately rested Osimhen over the weekend to ensure he’s in top shape for this pivotal Champions League night.

Fans can expect Osimhen to start the match after being used as a substitute in the team’s 2–1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir. The 24-year-old’s hunger, precision, and relentless energy have made him one of the most feared strikers in Europe — and tomorrow, history could be calling his name once again.

With his blazing form, it’s no surprise that football enthusiasts and sports analysts alike are keeping a close eye on Osimhen’s progress. His performance doesn’t just boost Galatasaray’s Champions League ambitions — it also strengthens Nigeria’s growing reputation in world football.
