After a good season with Nigeria in AFCON, Osimhen returned to Napoli for the Champions League Round of 16 match against Barcelona at the Stadio Diego Maradona.
Barcelona dominated the match, with Parthenopeans second best in the first half. In the first half he didn’t score a single try, whereas for Barcelona he scored 7 tries.
However, they improved in the second half and performed better in the final third. The tempo increased even more after Robert Lewandowski scored the opening goal in the 60th minute.
In the end they made a breakthrough through Osimhen, who showed great strength and skill in passing the ball to Iñigo Martínez, who received a pass from Franck Anguissa inside the penalty area, and Marc Andre curled a low shot into the top left corner of the goal. I decided to. Ter Stergen was brought on to make it 1-1. The match ultimately ended with him 1-1 and set the stage for an interesting second leg.
