Wednesday, October 1, 2025 - Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, has become the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
The 26-year-old striker reached the milestone after scoring
the lone goal in Galatasaray’s 1-0 win over Liverpool at the RAMS Park on
Tuesday night, September 30.
Osimhen converted a penalty kick with Alisson Becker diving
the wrong way after Dominic Sobozlai had smacked Barış Alper Yılmaz in the face
to concede the penalty.
The goal took Osimhen ahead of Obafemi Martins to become the
highest scoring Nigerian in the UCL, excluding qualification matches.
He also became the first Nigerian to score for three
different clubs in the UCL. He had earlier scored for Lille and Napoli in the
competition.
