Striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of making club history at Galatasaray by becoming the first-ever player in the club’s European competitions history to score in seven consecutive matches.
Having already found the net in six straight European appearances, Osimhen needs just one more goal and it could come in the upcoming match against Bodø/Glimt to claim the record.
Galatasaray’s media noted that if the Nigerian strikes again, he will become the sole holder of this feat, a record previously shared with former club legend Burak Yılmaz from 2012.
Editorial
In football the greatest moments are often framed not simply by the ball hitting the net, but by what those moments signify in context. Victor Osimhen’s chase for a seventh consecutive goal in Europe is precisely such a moment a marker of not just consistency, but evolution.
Galatasaray’s history is rich; its legends numerous. For a Nigerian striker to be on the cusp of a record that links him to that legacy is no small feat. What makes this compelling is the battleground: Europe. It is where styles collide, where trophies are forged and reputations burn as hot as floodlights. That Osimhen is thriving there speaks to his maturation.

But the milestone also carries caution. Statistics enthral, but they do not guarantee longevity. The chase for consecutive goals can spark its own pressure opponents now know, fans expect, clubs watch. Osimhen must convert the record pursuit into performance that feels immutable, not exception.
For Nigerian football, this moment reverberates. Nigerian forwards have always been talented. What makes this different is the combination of record-setting and European stage. It is the fusion of heritage and ambition. If he breaks this record, then it won’t just be about Galatasaray’s history — it will be about Nigerian football’s rising imprint in Europe.
As the next match looms, the question is no longer can Osimhen score — the question is how. How will he adapt? Will he be targeted? Will he respond? These are the real tests now. Because goals are handsome, but influence is enduring.
