Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is on the brink of making history with Galatasaray, as he looks to become the first player ever to score in seven consecutive European games for the Turkish giants.

The 26-year-old will have the chance to achieve the milestone when Galatasaray face Bodo/Glimt in a crucial Champions League clash on Wednesday night.

Osimhen currently shares the record with Burak Yilmaz, who found the back of the net in six straight European fixtures for Galatasaray back in 2012. The Nigerian equaled that mark after scoring the decisive goal in the 1–0 win over Liverpool last month — a strike that sent fans in Istanbul into raptures.

Although he started from the bench in the team’s recent 2–1 league victory over Istanbul Basaksehir, Osimhen is expected to return to the starting lineup for the European showdown.

So far this season, the forward has scored three goals in seven appearances across all competitions — a modest tally by his high standards, but one that hints at his growing influence in the team.

💭 Opinion: Osimhen’s Hunger Could Redefine Galatasaray’s European Legacy

Victor Osimhen is not just chasing a record — he’s chasing legacy. For a club like Galatasaray, rich in passion and history, records are symbols of pride. To have a Nigerian striker potentially rewrite one held for over a decade speaks volumes about Osimhen’s resilience and ambition.

What makes this feat more remarkable is how Osimhen continues to rise above pressure. From his days in Ligue 1 to his explosive spell in Serie A, the Super Eagles star has built a reputation as a fighter — one who thrives when the stakes are highest.

Breaking Burak Yilmaz’s record wouldn’t just put his name in Galatasaray’s books; it would reaffirm his place as one of Africa’s most consistent performers on the European stage.

But beyond statistics, Osimhen’s hunger and leadership are what truly set him apart. His ability to turn moments of half-chances into match-winning goals embodies the spirit of a player who refuses to fade quietly.

As the Turkish champions prepare for Bodo/Glimt, all eyes will be on number 9 — the man who could turn another ordinary night in Istanbul into a page of club history.

If Osimhen scores again, he won’t just break a record; he’ll strengthen his claim as one of Africa’s most relentless goal machines — a striker who doesn’t just play for goals, but for greatness.
