Europe celebrates Osimhen’s assist to Kvaratskhelia against Cagliari more than his goal

Super Eagles superstar Victor Osimhen's assist to Napoli colleague Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a great show of skill, which delivered a match-winning moment for the club against Cagliari is still the subject of discussion among football aficionados in Europe and elsewhere almost 24 hours after the match.

Osimhen's performance highlights why top clubs have shown interest in him over the last couple of seasons. Despite speculation about his future, Osimhen remains in impressive form, with eight goals across all competitions this season.

Napoli returned to winning ways against Cagliari in Serie A after two straight defeats, and they did so in style as Osimhen pulled off a quite remarkable assist to set up Kvaratskhelia for the winner in the 75th minute of the game. The Nigerian has been in sensational form ever since joining the Naples-based club back in 2020 from Lille.

His future at Napoli has been a huge topic of conversation recently, but despite that, he's continued to perform at a very high level for the team, with seven goals across all competitions to his name heading into the match against Cagliari. That form was on full display against Claudio Ranieri's team.

"We did everything we could but when you go up against champions like Osimhen and Kvara they can decide the match in an instant," Ranieri said.
