Osimhen Breaks Silence: ‘This Season Will Stay With Me Forever

Victor Osimhen hit a new milestone on Saturday night by netting twice in Galatasaray’s commanding 4-1 win over Sivasspor at RAMS Park.

The Nigerian striker has now scored 33 goals in all competitions for the Turkish giants, eclipsing his previous best of 31 goals recorded during his time at Napoli two years ago.

Speaking to the club’s official media, Osimhen expressed his delight:
“Breaking my personal record in my debut season here means a lot. Galatasaray is one of the most prestigious clubs in the world—definitely the biggest in Türkiye. I’m grateful to my family, friends, the technical crew, and staff who supported me throughout. This season is truly unforgettable.”

Galatasaray currently sits atop the Turkish Super Lig standings, eight points ahead of fierce rivals Fenerbahce with just six matches remaining—putting them on course for a third straight league title.

Head coach Okan Buruk also commented on Osimhen’s early substitution in the 70th minute, saying:
“He was at risk of picking up a card, and with our tight fixture list, I needed to protect him. Managing player fitness is key as we push for the title.”
