Victor Osimhen was described as "a huge player" after marking his return for Napoli with a goal that gave the Italian champions a 1-1 draw with Barcelona and hope that a dreadful season might have reached a turning point. Nigeria forward Osimhen rolled home the leveller with 15 minutes left of the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, in his first match since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. The 25-year-old equalised Robert Lewandowski's 60th-minute opener, which seemed likely to be the decisive goal as Barca were for long periods the better team, with Napoli's first and only shot on target.

Napoli's crisis deepened on Saturday after being held to a 1-1 home draw by Genoa, another heavy blow for the ailing Serie A champions ahead of the midweek visit of Barcelona. Cyril Ngonge saved a home point for Napoli in the final minute after Morten Frendrup had given Genoa the lead with a powerful first-time finish just after half-time. Napoli ran away with the league title last season but are now 27 points behind current leaders Inter Milan in ninth spot meaning their chances of a place in next season's revamped Champions League are increasingly slim.
