Mauro Icardi has his sights set on Alex's record!

In the 35th week of the Süper Lig, Galatasaray defeated Sivasspor 6-1. The goals for the yellow-reds were scored by Hakim Ziyech (2), Dries Mertens (2), and Mauro Icardi (2).

Galatasaray secured its 31st league victory this season, bringing its point total to 96.

CAREER RECORD FROM ICARDI

Mauro Icardi broke his career record with the 2 goals he scored against Sivasspor.

Having previously scored a maximum of 29 goals in a single season in his career, Mauro Icardi reached 30 goals this season with the goals he scored today.

TARGET: ALEX'S RECORD

While the Argentine star is experiencing the most prolific scoring season of his career, he has also come very close to breaking the record held by Fenerbahçe legend Alex de Souza.

With a total of 30 goals and 12 assists this season, Mauro Icardi has reached 42 goal contributions.

If the Argentine star provides 3 more goal contributions in the remaining 3 matches, he will break the record of 44 goal contributions in a single season held by former Fenerbahçe player Alex de Souza.
