UCL: Osimhen shines with double as Galatasaray down Bodø/Glimt

Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen continued his blistering form with a standout performance on Wednesday night, scoring twice as Galatasaray cruised to a 3-1 win over Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League.

The Nigerian star, who had earlier during the day been shortlisted for the 2025 CAF Player of the Year award, produced a stunning display that proved his growing reputation as a big-game performer under manager Okan Buruk.

Record-breaking run in Europe

The brace extended Osimhen’s scoring streak to seven consecutive European matches, setting a new club record for Galatasaray.

Over that run, he has scored against Tottenham, AZ Alkmaar, Dynamo Kyiv, Ajax, Liverpool, and now Bodø/Glimt, taking his tally to nine goals in his last seven European outings.

Leading by example

Before being replaced by Mauro Icardi in the 73rd minute, Osimhen registered seven shots on target, missed five big chances, and was flagged offside twice.

Across all competitions this season, the 26-year-old has now tallied five goals in eight appearances.
