He is a true striker — Italy legend Luca Toni full of praise for incredible Osimhen

Luca Toni hailed Osimhen as a 'true striker' following the Nigerian's goal in Napoli's 1-1 draw against Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Barcelona before Osimhen equalised with a fantastic finish beyond Ter Ste Gen.

Osimhen, closely monitored by the Barca defenders, notably Inigo Martinez, showcased his exceptional skills as he received a straightforward pass from Andre-Frank Anguissa.

The 25-year-old adeptly fended off Martinez's challenge, leaving the defender on the ground, vulnerable to the Nigerian's brilliance. Osimhen then executed a brilliant finish past the goalkeeper, highlighting his prowess and composure in crucial moments.

“Osimhen withstood the defender’s impact, protected the ball, turned well, and then in front of the goal, the goalkeeper was wrong-footed,” Toni told Amazon Prime Video as per Tutto Napoli.

"That was a goal from a true striker."
