Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen has etched his name into Galatasaray’s history books by becoming the club’s all-time top foreign goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League, following his decisive strike in a dramatic knockout playoff against Juventus on Wednesday night, multiple reports confirm.

Osimhen’s goal came in extra time of the Champions League playoff second leg in Turin, where Galatasaray secured a thrilling 7-5 aggregate victory to advance to the Round of 16 despite losing the match 3-2 on the night. His finish took his Champions League goal tally for Galatasaray to 13, surpassing the previous record of 12 goals held by former Czech forward Milan Baros, making him the club’s highest-scoring foreign player in European competition history.

The 27-year-old forward’s performance under the floodlights not only helped Galatasaray progress in Europe’s elite club competition but also earned him the Player of the Match award, marking his fourth such honour this season in the Champions League. Osimhen’s blend of pace, power and clinical finishing has cemented his status as one of the most lethal attackers on the continent and a key figure in Galatasaray’s campaign.

Osimhen’s record achievement draws added attention as he sits prominently among the competition’s top scorers this season, reinforcing his reputation at the pinnacle of European club football while Galatasaray prepares for a challenging knockout phase.
