Victor Osimhen’s Napoli crashed out of the Champions League after losing 3-1 to Barcelona in the round of 16 Champions League tie at Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.
Barcelona are through to the quarter finals with goals from Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez and Joao Cancelo. Amir Rrahmani scored for Napoli and Osimhen had a penalty appeal turned down. He scored in the first leg which ended 1-1.
Meanwhile following Osimhen’s performance former England and Chelsea coach Glen Hoddle and former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves said it was time Osimhen moved to the English Premier League.
“This is probably the last big game for him this season, you know in terms of everybody’s watching against Barcelona,” Hargreaves said during a TNT Sports chat
“He’s destined for a big move, 31 goals last season. He’s a great finisher, he’s got the size, he’s got the skill-set. He’s got everything to be the perfect centre forward.
“It will be interesting to see when he comes to the Premier League, because that feels like it’s on the cards.”
Hoddle agreed: “He’s a Premier League player looking at him, the style of him as well.
“But he’s got his hunger back. That’s the main thing. I think now he’s back to his best. He’s got the hunger, the movement, he wants to score goals. That’s the big difference, the mindset.”
