UCL: ‘Best striker in the world’ – Galatasaray hails Osimhen after brace

Galatasaray have hailed Victor Osimhen as “the best striker in the world” following his brace against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Osimhen scored two first-half goals to put the Turkish giants in control of the match.

The Super Eagles superstar grabbed the first as early as the third minute, finishing off Mario Lemina’s through pass.

The 26-year-old then doubled Gala’s advantage 30 minutes later, pouncing on a defensive mistake to roll the ball into the net.

Yunus Akgün added a third goal in the 60th minute, while Andreas Helmersen scored a late consolation for Bodo/Glimt in the 74th minute.

Osimhen’s brace marked his seventh consecutive European match with a goal — a historic feat for Galatasaray — and brought his Champions League tally to 11 goals.

A post from the club’s official X handle shared his picture from the game and captioned it: “Best striker in the world.”
