Victor Osimhen Shines Again As Galatasaray Secure Champions League Win Over Bodo/Glimt

When It Comes To Pure Passion And Relentless Energy, Victor Osimhen Is In A League Of His Own. The Super Eagles striker once again proved his worth as Galatasaray defeated Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in an electrifying UEFA Champions League clash.

The 26-year-old Nigerian forward scored twice — first in the 3rd minute and again in the 33rd — to put Galatasaray comfortably ahead before halftime. His performance didn’t just seal the win; it cemented his name in the club’s history books.

According to Pulse Sports, Osimhen has now scored in seven consecutive European matches, making him the first Galatasaray player ever to achieve such a milestone. For a striker who thrives on hunger, consistency, and pure determination, that’s no small feat.

But in true Osimhen fashion, the man of the moment refused to take all the glory. Speaking after the game, he redirected the spotlight toward his teammates:

“It was a very important match. I want to congratulate my teammates. The opponent pushed us hard in the second half. We got a very important win. Thank you, everyone; I’m not breaking these records alone. We’ll continue to build on this momentum,” he said.

With humility and a team-first attitude, Osimhen emphasized that his goals and records mean nothing without the collective effort of his team.

“I’ve won two matches thanks to my teammates; I haven’t won alone. I’d like my other teammates to win too. I want to help the team with my goals and assists, or if that doesn’t work out, I want to help with my fighting. I’ll be very happy if one of my teammates wins this.”

Galatasaray now sit comfortably with six points from a possible nine, keeping their Champions League hopes alive and strong.

From Napoli to Galatasaray, Osimhen’s fire keeps burning — and his story continues to inspire fans across Africa and beyond.

Whether it’s his electric pace, powerful finishing, or his humility off the pitch, one thing’s certain: Victor Osimhen is not just a star — he’s a movement.
