Galatasaray’s Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen has credited his Galatasaray’s teammates and fans for their collective roles following his impressive performance against Bodo Glimt on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.
Osimhen scored twice in Galatasaray’s 3-1 win, setting a new personal record in the process.
His third minute opener became the quickest goal in the Champions League by a Galatasaray player while the brace against Bodo/Glimt also meant that he became the first player to score in seven consecutive European Cup matches.
The previous record was scoring in six consecutive matches held by Burak Yilmaz.
But the 26-year-old striker was quick to downplay his personal feat , stressing that his achievement was a product of teamwork.
“I don’t score these goals alone, and I don’t break these records alone.
A big thank you to my teammates and the amazing fans.
We’ll keep building on this momentum,” Osimhen said. “I didn’t win this award alone, and I hope my teammates get their fair share of recognition as well.”
Emphasizing his commitment to the club’s success, the Super Eagles star concluded: “Whether through goals, tackles, or assists, my main focus is always to help the team succeed.
These records are a result of our collective hard work.
