Napoli won the war already but their Nigerian star has his own battle to wage

The title win, which a whole generation of Napoli fans dreamed of, took place last night at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. A little less than 60,000 lucky people found themselves in the stands that resembled those of La Bombonera in Buenos Aires, so it would be really unfair if all of them were not rewarded with a victory. It was not a magnificent one, but it was won thanks to the incredible persistence of Victor Osimhen.The Nigerian has not finished his own battle yet, but he is close to winning it as well. With a goal from the penalty spot in the 74th minute, he reached his 23rd this season, so now he has four more goals than Inter’s Lautaro Martinez. Osimhen wanted to make the home crowd happy at all costs. He had a lot of chances and misses, including the penalty kick in the 48th minute. However, nothing could stop him – he took responsibility again 26 minutes later and scored!And as usual, this is how the fans reacted when Osimhen scored the penalty. Victor… OSIMHEN! 🇳🇬👏🏾 #NapoliCampione pic.twitter.com/Qb7mwmi0n1— Reyi (@Reinaldodcg9) May 7, 2023 Fiorentina proved to be a tough nut to crack. On several occasions, La Viola was able to take advantage of the occasional laid-back approach of the home team players, but they did not succeed, after which the guests was punished. The Nigerian striker converted from the spot and is at the pole position for this season’s Capocannoniere award (“head gunner”).The Neapolitans have maintained a big 17-point advantage over Juventus and further strengthened their dominance this season, but it remains to be seen whether the team that has lost its competitive motivation will now experience a drop in performance. Fiorentina in Serie A do not have any special motivation, considering that it is too far from the positions that lead to Europe, but also from the danger zone, so this match served to make a good prelude for the clashes with Basel in the semi-finals of the Conference League.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 34SaturdayMilan – Lazio 2-0 (2-0)/Bennacer 11, Hernandez 29/Roma – Inter 0-2 (0-1)/Dimarco 33, Lukaku 74/Cremonese – Spezia 2-0 (1-0)/Ciofani 41, Vasquez 77/Sunday Atalanta – Juventus 0-2 (0-0)/Illing-Junior 56, Vlahovic 90+8/Torino – Monza 1-1 (0-0)/Sanabria 46 – Caprari 86/Napoli – Fiorentina 1-0 (0-0)/Osimhen 74 pen/Lecce – Verona 0-1 (0-0)/Ngonge 71/Monday 19.30: (1.58) Udinese (4.00) Sampdoria (6.25)19.30: (2.35) Empoli (3.40) Salernitana (3.35)21.45: (2.50) Sassuolo (3.50) Bologna (3.05)***odds are subject to change***
