Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is rewriting the history books at Galatasaray, delivering a sensational performance in their last game as he netted a brace in a commanding 4-1 win over Sivasspor. The two goals didn’t just secure three points—they cemented his name in the club’s record books.
With his latest double, Osimhen has now scored 33 goals in all competitions this season, surpassing the previous modern-era record jointly held by Mauro Icardi and Bafétimbi Gomis, who both tallied 32 goals in their most prolific seasons in Istanbul.
The Nigerian forward, who arrived with high expectations, has not only met them—he’s exceeded them in stunning fashion. His blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing has turned him into a fan favorite at Türk Telekom Stadium, and his impact has been pivotal in Galatasaray’s strong domestic and European campaigns.
“Victor is a special player,” Galatasaray head coach said after the match. “He’s not just scoring—he’s leading the team with his work ethic and mentality. What he’s achieving is extraordinary.”
Osimhen’s 33 goals span the Süper Lig, Turkish Cup, and European competitions, showcasing his ability to perform consistently at the highest level. His performance against Sivasspor was a reminder of why he is regarded as one of Africa’s finest strikers.
With a few matches still left to play, the Nigerian marksman could push the record even further—setting a new benchmark for goal-scoring excellence in Galatasaray’s history.
