Does the Partenopei’s final day failure, which cost them a Champions League spot, diminish the Nigerian’s late-season upswing?
After every non-cross or delayed delivery into the box, Victor Osimhen’s frustration grew as Napoli’s Champions League qualification hopes drifted away.
The striker, probably aware of the Azzurri’s need for all three points, was visibly animated when moves broke down, a pass or cross was delayed, or an attack didn’t result in an effort on target.
The Naples outfit had their fate in their hands before the start of the final game: win vs Hellas Verona at home and return to the Champions League.
