Osimhen was in high spirits after he helped Napoli end their long wait for the Scudetto against Udinese in Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

However, Osimhen came to the rescue when he scored the decisive equaliser seven minutes into the second half.

The goal proved to be sufficient as Napoli held on to seal their first Seria A win in 33 years with five matches to spare.

“I have been calling some friends from Napoli, you have to go into the city and see, it’s crazy,” Balotelli told Osimhen.

“Trust me, you did something incredible, my friend. You still don’t know what you did. You will realise in years, not tomorrow (today), not next year, In ten years you will understand what you did, it is unbelievable.”

Osimhen’s goal was his 22nd of the season in the Serie A and underlined his importance and key role in Napoli’s rise to the top of Italian football for the first time in over three decades.
