Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has etched his name into the record books as the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
The 26-year-old forward struck the decisive goal in Galatasaray’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool at RAMS Park on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
Osimhen coolly converted a penalty after Dominik Szoboszlai fouled Barış Alper Yılmaz in the box, sending goalkeeper Alisson Becker the wrong way.
With the strike, Osimhen surpassed Obafemi Martins’ UCL tally to become Nigeria’s outright all-time top scorer in the competition, excluding qualification rounds.
The milestone also makes him the first Nigerian to score for three different clubs in the Champions League, having previously found the net with Lille and Napoli.
