Napoli fans were frustrated by the penalty miss because it cost the Neapolitans what could have been three points.

It was Osimhen's goals that won Napoli that first league title in 33 years and Nigerians are not pleased with the reaction to missing a penalty.

Following the posting and subsequent deletion of a strange video from the Serie A team's official TikTok account that appeared to insult Osimhen is reserving the right to take legal action against his own club.
