Galatasaray's Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will rise to the top of the club's all-time goalscorers list if he scores against Monaco. Having scored 6 goals in the Champions League this season, Osimhen will become the club's all-time leading scorer by surpassing Shabani Nonda and Milan Baros with one more goal.
Victor Osimhen, one of the most effective players of Galatasaray this season, is showcasing an incredible performance in the Champions League. The yellow-reds won all 3 Champions League matches in which the Nigerian star was on the field, scoring a total of 6 goals against Liverpool, Bodo/Glimt, and Ajax.
Osimhen, who missed the matches against Frankfurt and US Gilloise due to injury, saw Galatasaray lose both matches in his absence. The striker, who will return to the field in the away match against Monaco, is highly trusted.
1 GOAL IS ENOUGH FOR A RECORD
Osimhen has scored 12 goals in his last 8 matches in European competitions while wearing the Galatasaray jersey. If the star player scores one more goal, he will surpass Shabani Nonda and Milan Baros, who both have 12 goals in European competitions, becoming one of the club's all-time top scorers.
7TH MEETING WITH MONACO
Galatasaray and Monaco have faced each other 6 times before in Europe's number one competition. Monaco won 3 of these matches, while Galatasaray emerged victorious twice, and 1 match ended in a draw. It is highly anticipated whether Osimhen will take the stage in this historic match.
OKAN BURUK ON THE YELLOW CARD THRESHOLD
Head coach Okan Buruk, who received yellow cards in the matches against Frankfurt and US Gilloise, will be suspended for the next match against Atletico Madrid if he receives another card in the match against Monaco.
DURSUN ÖZBEK WENT TO FRANCE WITH THE TEAM
Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek joined the team away from home for the first time this season. Özbek flew to France with the squad and attended the Galatasaray Night held in Monaco. The management provided morale to the team in this critical match.
