The Nigerian striker opened the scoring early after a clever pass from Mario Lemina and later doubled the lead by capitalising on a defensive mistake from Fredrik Bjørkan.

Bodø/Glimt fought back but were punished again when Osimhen won the ball and set up Yunus Akgün for the third goal. The visitors pulled one back through Andreas Helmersen’s header, but Galatasaray remained in control to seal the win.

Osimhen’s brace makes him the first Galatasaray player to score in seven consecutive European matches, breaking Burak Yilmaz’s previous record.

Bayern have lost two of their four matches so far in the new league phase and sit 17th in the standings, with only the top eight qualifying automatically for the last 16.

PSG is languishing outside even the top 24, which secures a place in the play-off round, ahead of the meeting at the Allianz Arena.

Kane told newsmen that Bayern have to win pretty much all games, adding that it is also the case for PSG.

Kane had on Friday scored his seventh hat-trick since arriving at Bayern ahead of last season in a win over Augsburg.  He netted his 50th Bundesliga goal in 43 matches, becoming the fastest to reach a half-century in the division’s history, beating Erling Haaland’s record by six games.

Bayern coach, Vincent Kompany said it was too early to determine his side’s chances in the competition noting that some teams have had four difficult games and some have had easier ones. He said their goal is not the top eight but to be number one.

Kompany said Bayern were wary of their opponents, who they defeated in the 2020 Champions League final, and said PSG were dangerous even without the big names of years past.

PSG midfielder, Vitinha said his side couldn’t be more motivated to take on Bayern, but PSG wants to win every game, adding that tomorrow is no different.

Visiting coach, Luis Enrique said his side would not adjust their approach despite Bayern’s firepower.

Like Bayern, Ligue 1 leaders PSG are six points clear and unbeaten in their domestic league.

This season’s Champions League final will be played in Munich.
