The assassin who shook the Champions League

Osimhen surpassed Mbappe, Haaland and Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.

With a brilliant hat-trick in Amsterdam, the Nigerian striker rose to the top of the scoring list. He has a total of 6 goals, surpassing superstars like Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane - who are all on 5.

Osimhen, who was sold to Türkiye by Napoli for a record fee of 75 million euros, has now become a valuable contract of Galatasaray. It took him only 19 minutes in the second half to complete his first hat-trick in his career in the Champions League.

After the match, Osimhen shared on Galatasaray TV : "We have a clear goal. To go far in the Champions League, you have to show the class of a big team. We know we are capable of hurting any opponent."

Previously, Osimhen scored the only goal to help Galatasaray beat Liverpool 1-0, then scored a double in the 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt. With a series of 3 consecutive wins, the Turkish representative has 9 points, temporarily ranked 9th in the qualifying round.

PSG, Chelsea and Al Ahli were all chasing Osimhen in the summer transfer window of 2024, but Galatasaray won the battle, loaning him and then buying him outright after just one season. Last season, the 26-year-old scored 31 goals in all competitions, helping the Istanbul club win the domestic double (League and Turkish Cup).

With his current form, Osimhen is gradually making Galatasaray's dream of reaching Europe come true, and making the whole continent mention his name alongside Mbappe and Haaland.
