Victor Osimhen led Galatasaray to their best league start in 26 years.

Galatasaray were the dominant side in Turkey last season, but the arrival of Victor Osimhen has taken their level up several notches and with the new attacking verve injected into the side by the Nigerian’s presence, Cim-Bom set a new record.

Okan Buruk's side have remained unbeaten this season, winning all but one their their league games this campaign, the 3-3 draw against Kenneth Omeruo’s Sivasspor. 

The Cim-Bom have not been the most defensively secured side this season; hence, their incredible offensive potency has kept them above the rest of the chasing pack. 

The Cim-Bom have scored an incredible 46 goals in all competitions this season (18 games). They are by far the most prolific stream in the Super Lig, with 32 goals.

They have managed to reach that tally in only 11 games, only the second-quickest within the time frame in the club's history. 

The last time Napoli scored more than 32 league goals after 11 games was also the only time, the 1998/99 season. 26 years later, they came only three goals shy of eclipsing the record,  but Buruk's side will appreciate being ranked second in the club's history.
