Osimhen Set to Rewrite Galatasaray’s Champions League History

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is on the brink of making history with Galatasaray as he looks to equal or surpass the club’s long-standing UEFA Champions League scoring record.

On Tuesday night, the Turkish champions will welcome Juventus to RAMS Park for the first leg of their UCL Playoff tie, a clash that could see Osimhen etch his name into Galatasaray folklore.

The current record belongs to Burak Yılmaz, who netted eight goals during the 2012/2013 campaign.

Osimhen, already in blistering form, has scored six goals in six matches this season, leaving him just two shy of equaling Yılmaz’s tally and three away from setting a new benchmark.

The Nigeria international is no stranger to Juventus, having faced the Italian giants seven times during his Napoli days, scoring twice and providing two assists.

His familiarity with the opposition could prove crucial as Galatasaray aim to extend their impressive home record against Italian clubs.

The Istanbul side remain unbeaten in their last eight Champions League fixtures at home against Serie A opposition, boasting five wins and three draws.

With Osimhen leading the line, fans will be hopeful that the streak continues, and that a new chapter in Galatasaray’s European history is written.
