Reports in Turkey indicate Osimhen is now next in line to assume the leadership role, although the club is yet to make an official announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Super Eagles forward has grown into one of Galatasaray’s biggest stars since joining from Napoli in 2025. Beyond his goalscoring exploits, Osimhen has helped the Yellow and Reds win back-to-back Turkish Super Lig titles and lift the Turkish Cup, while also playing a leading role in the club’s UEFA Champions League campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He has become the fastest player in Galatasaray’s history to reach 50 goals and also etched his name into the record books as the first foreign Galatasaray player to score a Champions League hat-trick, achieving the feat against Ajax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Last season, Osimhen combined leadership with decisive performances on the pitch as Galatasaray retained the league title under Okan Buruk. The Nigeria international served as assistant captain, returned from injury to score in the crucial derby victory over Fenerbahce, and later netted twice against Antalyaspor as Galatasaray sealed a record-extending 26th Turkish Super Lig crown. He also finished among the club’s leading scorers across all competitions after delivering key goals in both domestic and European matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>His growing influence has made him the overwhelming favourite to replace Icardi as captain.

You definitely get inspired to take care of your body, to keep doing the right thing for your team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Antetokounmpo said he was particularly struck by a moment in Wednesday’s win over England when Messi took a shove and hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“And then you could see all of his teammates sprinted to help him out,” Antetokounmpo said. “You have to earn that. The respect that he has from his team-mates, that’s earned … hopefully in my career I’m able to do something like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fmessi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-antetokounmpo\u002F\">Messi set ‘blueprint’ for greatness – Antetokounmpo\u003C\u002Fa> appeared first on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\">Vanguard News\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","messi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-antetokounmpo",{"id":798,"createdAt":799,"updatedAt":799,"name":800,"slug":801},[1650,1763,2212,2213,2214],"blueprint","greatness","antetokounmpo","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.vanguardngr.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2024\u002F09\u002FGiannis-Antetokounmpo5-1024x576.webp",{"id":1657,"createdAt":1658,"updatedAt":1659,"name":1660,"image":1661,"slug":1662},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fmessi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-antetokounmpo\u002F",{"id":2219,"createdAt":2220,"updatedAt":2220,"title":1591,"excerpt":2221,"content":2222,"slug":2223,"topic":2224,"tags":2225,"image":2227,"author":79,"feed":2228,"views":1728,"type":88,"readTime":1638,"externalSourceUrl":2229},"be5a6bb4-3e50-4dac-9352-4969724079e8","2026-07-17T08:14:00.523Z","NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo draws inspiration from Lionel Messi’s career path, highlighting Messi’s blueprint for greatness and sustained success.\n\nRead More: https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fmessi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-nbas-antetokounmpo\u002F","\n\nNBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo draws inspiration from Lionel Messi’s career path, highlighting Messi’s blueprint for greatness and sustained success.\n\nRead More: https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fmessi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-nbas-antetokounmpo\u002F","messi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-nbas-antetokounmpo",{"id":798,"createdAt":799,"updatedAt":799,"name":800,"slug":801},[1650,1763,2212,2213,2226,2214],"nbas","https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F07\u002FAFP__20260716__2286423668__v1__Mockup__MiamiHeatIntroducesBobbyPortisJrAndGiannisAnt_1784275928.webp",{"id":1951,"createdAt":1952,"updatedAt":1953,"name":1954,"image":1955,"slug":1956},"https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fmessi-set-blueprint-for-greatness-nbas-antetokounmpo\u002F?utm_source=rss.punchng.com&utm_medium=web",{"id":2231,"createdAt":2232,"updatedAt":2233,"title":2234,"excerpt":2235,"content":2236,"slug":2237,"topic":2238,"tags":2239,"image":2249,"author":79,"feed":2250,"views":1638,"type":88,"readTime":1638,"externalSourceUrl":2251},"61f95555-e803-46fa-9bf7-d9dcbf7ce3aa","2026-07-17T05:38:00.532Z","2026-07-17T06:05:31.000Z","FULL LIST: Messi tops golden boot, FIFA power rankings ahead of W’Cup final","Lionel Messi leads the Golden Boot race and FIFA’s Creativity Power Rankings ahead of the 2026 World Cup final.
