Francesco Calzona has expressed satisfaction with the stellar performances of Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia in Napoli’s triumph against Juventus on Sunday.
Kvaratskhelia’s opener with a volley and Federico Chiesa’s equalizer set the stage for a dramatic turn of events.
As the match seemed destined for a draw, Napoli were awarded a penalty after an incident involving Victor Osimhen.
Despite Osimhen’s initial spot-kick being saved by Wojciech Szczesny, Giacomo Raspadori seized the opportunity to secure the victory with a swift rebound.
“Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen are two fundamental players for this team. They both had difficult moments this season, but are now almost back to their usual levels,” Calzona said after the game.
With the Champions League second-leg round of 16 clash against Barcelona looming on Tuesday at Camp Nou, Calzona places his trust in Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to deliver another standout performance.
