Victor Osimhen Sets Galatasaray Record with Key Goal

Victor Osimhen, a forward for Galatasaray, made history on October 21 by becoming the club's highest-scoring foreign player in European cup competitions after scoring in a 4-2 win against Lille. This goal, which came in the 61st minute, was his first Champions League goal of the current season and his seventh in all competitions for Galatasaray.

Osimhen's tally of 14 European goals surpasses the previous records held by Milan Baroš and Shabani Nonda, who each scored 12 goals, while Mario Jardel netted 11 and Gheorghe Hagi scored 10. The match began with Yunus Akgun scoring for Galatasaray in the second minute, but Lille took the lead with two goals from Soriba Diaoune and another from Aleksey Batrakov.

Galatasaray equalized through an own goal by Nabil Bentaleb before Osimhen secured the victory. This win provided Galatasaray with their first three points in the European campaign, boosting their confidence as they aim for a deeper run in the Champions League.
