‘Way better than Ronaldo’ – Fans react as Osimhen shines with brace against Fenerbahçe

Victor Osimhen stole the spotlight on Tuesday night, delivering a stunning brace as Galatasaray secured a 2-1 victory over Fenerbahçe at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in the Turkish Cup quarter-finals.

The 26-year-old opened the scoring in the 10th minute before doubling both his tally and his team’s advantage 17 minutes later from the penalty spot.

The Super Eagles’ forward’s dominant display in the intercontinetal derby ignited a wave of reactions on social media, with fans showering him with praise.

One Nigerian fan even went as far as to declare Osimhen “way better than Ronaldo,” a bold claim that quickly gained traction online.

His clinical brace not only secured Galatasaray’s victory but also fueled discussions about his potential move to the Premier League. One fan even went as far as to liken him to Cristiano Ronaldo, urging Manchester United to make a move for the Nigerian striker.

One fan couldn’t help but marvel at his seemingly unstoppable run, humorously claiming that Osimhen must be using “juju” to maintain his impressive streak.

His clinical finishing and consistent performances have led one fan to boldly declare him the “most lethal striker in the world right now.”

One fan, clearly impressed by his fiery performances, highlighted his incredible impact, suggesting that the Nigerian striker is exactly what Chelsea needs to reignite their attack.

One Manchester United supporter admitted that while they would love to see the striker thrive, it would be painful to watch him excel at any club other than the Red Devils.

I'd be jealous seeing Victor Osimhen balling in another club if not Manchester United

Osimhen’s decisive brace propelled the reigning Turkish champions past José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe, securing their place in the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup.

The Nigerian forward has been in electrifying form since joining Cimbom on a season-long loan last September, netting 28 goals and providing five assists in 32 appearances under Okan Buruk’s guidance.

His stellar performances have drawn interest from some of Europe’s elite clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Juventus, while Saudi Pro League sides are also monitoring his situation ahead of the summer transfer window.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, are eager to secure his services on a permanent basis.
