After being included in the starting eleven by new coach Francesco Calzona, Osimhen’s equalizer nullified Robert Lewandowski’s opener for Barcelona.
This marked the Nigerian’s 9th goal in 16 Champions League matches, with 6 goals at home, matching Lorenzo Insigne’s record.
His standout performance against the Spanish champions included 25 touches, 4 duels won, 3 fouls won, and 1 shot on target before being substituted towards the end of the game.
The round of 16, second-leg tie will hold on March 21, at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
