Napoli’s captain, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, showered praise on Victor Osimhen, hailing him as “a champion” following his pivotal role in securing a draw for the club against Barcelona.
The Serie A champions managed to hold Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. The visitors took the lead courtesy of Robert Lewandowski’s goal on the hour mark.
However, Osimhen, who was playing his first game for Napoli since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, leveled the score 15 minutes later. This goal marked Osimhen’s first in the UEFA Champions League this season, highlighting his impact on the team’s performance.

“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,” Di Lorenzo said after the game.
