The 22-year-old forward scored the decisive goal that sealed the third Scudetto in Napoli’s history. Following the victory, Osimhen took to his Instagram page to celebrate and was joined by Inter Milan’s 2010 treble winner, Balotelli.
Balotelli praised the Nigerian striker, saying: “Trust me, you did something incredible. You still don’t know what you did, trust me. Now you’ve won, you will realize in years, not tomorrow, next year but in ten years you’ll understand what you did. It’s unbelievable, seriously.” Osimhen replied by expressing his amazement at winning the title and his desire to celebrate. He said: “It’s so amazing especially for the fans. I remember when I came here a lot of people sent me messages…I don’t know how to celebrate.” Balotelli then reassured the young striker and told him: “Don’t care how you feel, you are a champion, it’s okay.” Osimhen, who scored the goal that sealed the title for Napoli, also made history by becoming the highest-scoring African in a single Serie A season with 22 goals. The victory was Napoli’s first Serie A title since 1990, and Osimhen played a significant role in the team’s success in his debut season in Italy.

Mikel Arteta, coach of Premier League leaders, Arsenal, has explained why he doesn’t want a rivalry in the title race with Pep Guardiola, who is the head coach of second-placed Manchester City. 
With Arsenal scheduled to face Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, January 27, Arteta expressed hope that the struggle to win a trophy this season won’t ruin his friendship with Guardiola. Speaking at a press conference today, January 25, he said; “It’s a strange feeling. I want the best for him, genuinely, and when you are challenging with someone like this, something comes in between that. 
“I always hoped [Arsenal challenging City for trophies] was going to be the case one day and it’s happening this season. That’s not going to change any friendship, the moments that we have, how important he is in my life, how important he is in my profession. We’re both willing to win and defend our clubs in any way and that’s always been the case since day one. I would prefer to do it with someone else to be fair.” Arteta spent three years as Guardiola’s assistant before he left the Premier League champions to take over as Arsenal coach in 2019. His team are now five points clear of City at the top of the table and have lost just once in the competition this term.
