Dosu Joseph, former Nigerian international, asserts that Victor Osimhen should not shoulder the blame for Napoli’s elimination from the UEFA Champions League. Napoli succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Barcelona in the Round of 16, losing 4-2 on aggregate at Camp Nou.

Speaking with allsportnews.co.uk, the Atlanta Olympic gold medalist emphasized that Osimhen displayed his utmost effort for the team during the second leg.

“I firmly believe Osimhen shouldn’t bear the brunt of Napoli’s Champions League exit. Football is a collective sport where every member must strive for a positive outcome. Osimhen’s lack of goals in this match doesn’t warrant him being singled out for the defeat against Barcelona.”

“As we know, Osimhen consistently gives his all for Napoli. It’s incumbent upon the other players to step up in support when someone isn’t hitting the mark.”
