Victor Osimhen made waves with an incredible bicycle kick in Galatasaray's 3-0 triumph over Antalyaspor, scoring the third goal in added time (90+2). After a few minutes of VAR review, the goal was finally allowed to stand. Osimhen, thrilled with his strike, stated it was one of the best goals he's ever scored.

What made this goal even more special was the height it reached. The Nigerian international's kick soared to an impressive 2.32 meters, placing it among the highest bicycle kicks ever recorded. It came close to matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous 2.38-meter effort for Real Madrid against Juventus in the 2017-2018 Champions League.

Osimhen Inches Closer to Ronaldo’s Record

This overhead kick is expected to be considered one of the top goals of the year, with Osimhen’s leap measured at 2.32 meters. Though it fell just short of Ronaldo's record-setting 2.38-meter kick, Osimhen’s feat has ignited discussions about his athletic prowess.

Now, fans are looking forward to seeing Osimhen team up regularly with Mauro Icardi in Galatasaray's lineup. Icardi, having scored 60 goals in his time at the club, is aiming to surpass the record held by club legend Gheorghe Hagi as Galatasaray’s top-scoring foreign player.

With this spectacular goal, Osimhen continues to build his legacy, moving ever closer to matching some of football’s most iconic moments, including one of Ronaldo’s greatest records.
