Napoli have made it to the Quarter-final of the prestigious club competition for the first time in their history all thanks to a perfect 5-0 aggregate scoreline against German opposition, Eintracht Frankfurt. The Italian side's progression means they join Milan neighbors Ac Milan and Inter Milan as the 3 teams from Italy who progress to the next round of the competition.
Victor Osimhen's brace, his 3rd and 4th goal of this season’s edition of the competition, helped his side see off the current Europa League champions. The Nigerian international, who's making the headlines for all the good reasons this season, showed his athletism in the 1st minute of first half added time as he jumped highest to drive home a phenomenal header from a Politano cross.
It didn't take long after the half-time break for the big forward to grab his second of the night and extend the lead for his side as he pounced on a cross from Di Lorenzo to tap in an easy finish with his foot into an empty net in the 52nd minute of the game. Injury scare lingered around for the forward as he injured his left wrist in the process of scoring the goal but was taken care of by the medical team as he played the remaining minutes of the game with a bandage to his wrist.
Osimhen wasn't given the chance to complete his hattrick as Zielinski converted a penalty he won himself in the 62nd minute to make it 3-0 to the home side and game over.
