Galatasaray’s Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen has attributed his record-breaking performance to the collective effort of his Galatasaray teammates and the club’s passionate supporters following Tuesday’s 3-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Bodø/Glimt.
The Nigerian striker struck twice in the encounter, setting a new personal milestone in the process. His opener, just three minutes into the match, became the fastest goal ever scored by a Galatasaray player in the Champions League.
Osimhen’s brace also saw him make history as the first player to score in seven consecutive European Cup matches for the Turkish giants, surpassing Burak Yilmaz’s previous record of six straight games.
But the 26-year-old striker was quick to downplay his personal feat , stressing that his achievement was a product of teamwork.

Emphasizing his commitment to the club’s success, the Super Eagles star concluded: “Whether through goals, tackles, or assists, my main focus is always to help the team succeed. These records are a result of our collective hard work.”
