Victor Osimhen breaks record, becomes Nigeria’s top Champions League goal scorer

 Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, has become the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).  The 26-year-old striker reached the milestone after scoring the lone goal in Galatasarays 1-0 win over Liverpool at the RAMS Park on Tuesday night, September 30. Osimhen converted a penalty kick with Alisson Becker diving the wrong way after Dominic Sobozlai had smacked Bar Alper Ylmaz in the face to concede the penalty. The goal took Osimhen ahead of Obafemi Martins to become the highest scoring Nigerian in the UCL, excluding qualification matches. He also became the first Nigerian to score for three different clubs in the UCL. He had earlier scored for Lille and Napoli in the competition.The post Victor Osimhen breaks record, becomes Nigerias top Champions League goal scorer appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
