Galatasaray's Nigerian star Victor Osimhen will take the field with the aim of scoring against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. With this goal, Osimhen aims to equal the record of Burak Yılmaz, who is the player with the most goals in a single season for a Turkish team in the tournament. This season, Osimhen has played in 26 official matches, standing out with 18 goals and 6 assists.
Galatasaray will host English representative Liverpool on Tuesday in the first match of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The Nigerian star of the yellow-red team, Victor Osimhen, will take the field to share in a record during this critical match.
TARGETING BURAK YILMAZ'S RECORD
Victor Osimhen, who has scored 7 goals this season in the UEFA Champions League while wearing the Galatasaray jersey, will try to equal the record for the most goals scored in a season by a player for a Turkish team in the tournament. This record is held by Burak Yılmaz, who scored 8 goals in 9 matches in the Champions League during the 2012-2013 season while wearing the Galatasaray jersey. If Osimhen finds the net against Liverpool, he will get one step closer to Burak Yılmaz's record.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON
The Nigerian star, who has played in 26 official matches for Galatasaray this season, has shown a performance of 18 goals and 6 assists. As one of the most important names in the attacking line, Osimhen will also be one of the team's biggest assets against Liverpool.
