Insigne makes history with Champions League leveller against PSG

The 27-year-old scored from the spot against Gianluigi Buffon and the French giants, continuing a stellar run

Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne made a history on Tuesday by becoming the first Italian player to score in five consecutive home Champions League matches.

The 27-year-old struck past legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon from the penalty spot to earn his side a 1-1 draw with PSG in Tuesday's Champions League Group C clash.

Juan Bernat's goal had put visiting PSG in front on the stroke of half-time, but a terrible touch at the back from Thiago Silva led to Jose Callejon being knocked down in the box as he pounced on the loose ball.
