In a UEFA Champions League game on October 22, 2025, Galatasaray defeated Bodø/Glimt 3-1 at Rams Park in Istanbul.
- A new Galatasaray record was set when Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, a 2025 CAF Player of the Year nominee, scored two goals (a brace) in the first half to extend his European scoring streak to seven games in a row.
- Three minutes into the match, he put the team ahead after Mario Lemina’s pass went into the bottom corner and past goalie Nikita Haikin.
- In the 33rd minute, he scored his second goal by calmly rounding the goalkeeper to slot home after taking advantage of a defensive blunder by Odin Björtuft of Bodø/Glimt.
- In the second half, Osimhen pressed again and took the ball away from defender Haitam Aleesami near the penalty area. This led to teammate Yunus Akgün scoring Galatasaray’s third goal in the 60th minute, after a second try.
- In the 76th minute, Andreas Helmersen of Bodø/Glimt scored a late consolation goal with a header, but Galatasaray controlled the game the whole time.
This performance not only kept Galatasaray’s unbeaten streak in the tournament going, but it also made Osimhen one of the most reliable goal scorers in Europe in 2025, with nine goals in his last seven European matches.
In parallel, one of the evening’s most anticipated matches—dubbed a “thriller” because of its fast tempo, tight score, and dramatic play—was played between Real Madrid and Juventus. The headline summary did not include all of the match’s details, but it described it as one of the most important games of the Champions League group stage that evening, highlighting the intensity between two European powerhouses, the Bianconeri (Juventus) and Los Blancos (Real Madrid).
The phrase tells two stories:
- “Osimhen Extends Scoring Streak” highlights the Nigerian striker’s record-setting performance and how important he is to Galatasaray’s success.
- “Galatasaray Defeats Bodø/Glimt” means that the Turkish champions have won another strong Champions League match.
- “Real Madrid Faces Juventus Thriller” expands the story by pointing to another big European match that night, which will appeal to football fans around the world.
