An outburst by the striker against manager Rudi Garcia’s decision to substitute him sparked controversy, but not to the extent of what happened in the next game.
Osimhen missed a penalty in a draw against Bologna, and what followed was a bizarre move by the club, making a mockery of the striker via their official TikTok handle.
The player evidently felt crossed, deleting the club-related media from his Instagram. He has now taken to the social media app to put out a statement.
