Osimhen is rising - Super Eagles star shatters Gala record to become third-highest scoring foreign player their history

There is no longer any debate: Victor Osimhen is operating in a stratosphere of his own.

The 27-year-old Super Eagles icon has started his third season in Turkish football by doing the seemingly impossible.

In the middle of an absolute 4-0 slaughter of Erzurumspor, Osimhen hammered home a spectacular brace to reach 62 goals in just 76 explosive matches, completely erasing Liverpool and Lyon icon Milan Baros from the history books to become the third-highest scoring foreign player in Galatasaray's entire history.

What makes this historic milestone terrifying for the rest of Europe is the sheer, brutal speed at which the Nigerian superstar achieved it and the utter humiliation he inflicted to get there.

Osimhen didn't just quietly break the record; he did it by making the opposition look like amateurs.

After setting up Yunus Akgun with a blistering run earlier in the match, Osimhen went hunting for his historic 61st goal. Implementing a suffocating high press, the Nigerian powerhouse stalked the Erzurumspor goalkeeper, physically stripped him of the ball in a flash of panic, and casually rolled it into an empty net.

That moment officially tied him with Milan Baros. But Osimhen wasn't done.

Minutes later, Barıs sent a lethal ball over the top, Gabriel Sara whipped a pinpoint cross into the penalty box, and Osimhen lunged forward to smash home his second goal of the night, sealing the huge win and claiming the historic podium spot all for himself.

Milan Baros required a staggering 116 matches to reach his tally of 61 goals. Osimhen completely shattered that timeline, needing 40 fewer games to surpass him.

He is averaging a frightening goal-per-game ratio that has completely rewritten modern Süper Lig history.

The updated list of Galatasaray’s all-time elite foreign goalscorers now stands as a testament to absolute world-class dominance:

• 1. Mauro Icardi: 77 goals (134 matches)

• 2. Gheorghe Hagi: 72 goals (192 matches)

• 3. Victor Osimhen: 62 goals (76 matches)

• 4. Milan Baros: 61 goals (116 matches)

The Istanbul giants have been blessed with legendary foreign strikers, but none have possessed the raw, physical violence that Osimhen brings to the pitch.

With 62 goals secured, the Nigerian powerhouse is now just 10 goals away from matching the iconic "Maradona of the Carpathians," Gheorghe Hagi.

Even former club captain Mauro Icardi, who currently sits at the top of the mountain with 77 goals, is well within Osimhen's crosshairs.

Critics claimed he was taking a step backward when he moved to Turkey. Instead, Victor Osimhen has transformed himself into an immortal figure in Istanbul, and he is hunting down the ultimate crown.
