Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo has lauded Victor Osimhen as “a champion” following the forward’s crucial contribution that secured a draw against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
The Serie A champions held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, with Robert Lewandowski scoring for the visitors on the hour mark. Osimhen, playing his first game for Napoli since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, equalized 15 minutes later, marking his first goal in the UEFA Champions League this season.

After the game, Di Lorenzo remarked, “Osimhen is a champion, and he returned with the right mindset. He will give us a hand, just as Simeone and Raspadori will. Now the coach has a lot of options to choose from.”
