Victor Osimhen Makes History in Galatasaray’s UCL Triumph Over Liverpool

The Nigerian superstar has officially set a new Champions League benchmark.

Following Galatasaray’s 1-0 first-leg victory against Liverpool in Turkey, Osimhen became the highest-scoring Nigerian in a single UCL campaign.

With 7 goals and 1 assist this season, his 8 total goal involvements move him past Nigerian legends like Ademola Lookman, Yakubu Ayegbeni, and Tijani Babangida.

While Mario Lemina provided the match-winning goal, it was Osimhen who walked away with the record books.
