Victor Osimhen Poised To Break Galatasaray’s 13-Year European Scoring Record

Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen is on the verge of etching his name into Galatasaray’s rich football history as the Turkish champions gear up to face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League encounter.

According to Ireporter Online, Osimhen is just one goal away from becoming the first Galatasaray player to score in seven consecutive European matches — a record currently shared with former striker Burak Yilmaz, who achieved the feat in 2012.

The Nigerian striker equalled Yilmaz’s record last month after his decisive goal sealed a 1-0 victory for Galatasaray against Liverpool. Now, all eyes are on Rams Park, where Osimhen will look to make history by surpassing the long-standing milestone.

Osimhen, who came off the bench in Galatasaray’s 2-1 weekend win over Istanbul Basaksehir, is expected to return to the starting lineup under coach Okan Buruk for the crucial midweek tie.

Since his arrival in Istanbul, the 26-year-old has made seven appearances in all competitions, netting three goals. His powerful displays and consistent form have quickly earned him hero status among Galatasaray supporters.

A goal against Bodo/Glimt would not only bolster the Turkish giants’ Champions League ambitions but also immortalize Osimhen as a record-breaking striker in the club’s European history.
