Victor Osimhen continues his lethal form as he scored two goals in a 3-0 second leg victory for Napoli against Frankfurt. The two goals means Osimhen has now scored 23 goals in 28 games in all competition for Napoli.
He’s the first player in Napoli’s history to score in both matches of a European knock-out round. The combination play between Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Matteo Politano was dangerous all game, while Piotr Zielinski dazzled in the middle. But the in-form Osimhen did what he has done all season and spearheaded yet another ruthless Napoli attack, before being greeted with a standing ovation when he was substituted late on. He’s not on the verge of being world class. He’s world class right now.
His form as put him as the frontrunner to win both the highest goal scorer and player of the season in Italian Serie A, not ruling out possible accolades in UCL depends on how far Napoli can go.
