Victor Osimhen Breaks Galatasaray Record With Stunning Brace Against Bodø/Glimt

Victor Osimhen’s unstoppable form in Europe reached new heights on Wednesday night as the Nigerian striker made Galatasaray history with a record-breaking performance in their UEFA Champions League clash with Bodø/Glimt.

Victor Osimhen struck twice in the opening half at Rams Park, extending his remarkable run of scoring in seven consecutive European matches, a feat no Galatasaray player has ever achieved.

Naija News reports that the record had previously been held by Burak Yilmaz, who scored in six straight continental fixtures back in 2012.

Osimhen wasted no time making his mark, firing Galatasaray in front just three minutes into the game before adding his second in the 33rd minute. His goals not only sealed a vital Champions League victory but also etched his name into the club’s record books.

The 26-year-old’s scoring streak stretches back to last season’s Europa League campaign, where he found the net against Tottenham Hotspur, Dynamo Kyiv, Ajax, and AZ Alkmaar. This season, he has continued that form on Europe’s biggest stage, finding the back of the net against Liverpool before his double against Bodø/Glimt.

Since arriving in Istanbul, Osimhen has become the heartbeat of Okan Buruk’s side, his blend of power, pace, and precision endearing him to the Galatasaray faithful. His latest achievement not only confirms his status as one of Europe’s most feared forwards but also strengthens his growing legacy in Turkish football.

Note that at the time of writing this report, Galatasaray were beating Bodø/Glimt 3-1 with less than 8 regular minutes left to play.
