Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is poised to mark his 20th European continental appearance as the Italian club embarks on its quest for a triumphant start to the Champions League group stage against Braga this Wednesday.
Osimhen’s European journey thus far comprises 19 matches, including two goals in five Champions League fixtures during his time with former club LOSC Lille, prior to his move to Napoli in the summer of 2020.
Since donning Napoli’s colors, the Nigerian striker has made his mark, tallying four goals and providing one crucial assist in eight Europa League appearances. In the prestigious Champions League, Osimhen’s record stands at an impressive five goals in just six appearances for the Partenopei.
As Napoli prepares to face Braga at the Estadio Municipal de Braga, Osimhen is determined to play a pivotal role in securing victory for his club in their group stage opener.
The 24-year-old sensation also harbors the ambition to break free from a brief goal drought, having been unable to find the back of the net in recent matches, including a 2-1 defeat against Lazio and a 2-2 draw with Genoa in Serie A over the weekend.
