Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen etched his name into the history books on Tuesday, becoming the first Nigerian player to reach double figures in the UEFA Champions League proper.

The 26-year-old hit the landmark while leading the line for Galatasaray in their Group Stage clash against Premier League champions Liverpool at Rams Park.

Making his first full start for the Turkish giants since recovering from an ankle injury sustained during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa, Osimhen calmly converted a 16th-minute penalty after Dominik Szoboszlai fouled inside the box. The striker sent goalkeeper Alisson Becker the wrong way to score his 10th career goal in Europe’s elite competition.

Osimhen now sits ahead of former Inter Milan forward Obafemi Martins, who netted nine times in the Champions League. Other Nigerian players on the list include Ademola Lookman, Nwankwo Kanu, Victor Ikpeba, and Yakubu Aiyegbeni, who each scored five goals in the competition.
