Victor Osimhen has etched his name into Champions League history, becoming Nigeria’s all-time leading scorer in European club competitions with an electrifying performance that showcases his world-class talent.
The Galatasaray striker reached this milestone after netting a stunning hat-trick against Ajax Amsterdam on November 5, 2025, bringing his total to 25 goals in European competition. With this achievement, Osimhen surpassed fellow Nigerian legend Obafemi Martins, cementing his status as one of Africa’s greatest Champions League performers.
Osimhen’s record-breaking night saw him score three goals in just 20 minutes, including a powerful header and two clinical penalties, leading Galatasaray to a commanding 3-0 victory in Amsterdam. Currently sitting atop the Champions League scoring charts this season with six goals, the Nigerian international continues to demonstrate the explosive finishing ability that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
This historic achievement represents more than personal glory—it’s a testament to Nigerian football excellence on Europe’s biggest stage. Osimhen’s journey from Lagos to Champions League record-breaker inspires millions across Africa and proves that Nigerian talent can dominate at the highest level of club football.
