The moment Victor Osimhen picked up his Serie A title medal emerged on social media.
The striker had a stellar season Italian top flight and smashing George Weah’s 47 goals for an African player.
Osimhen also becomes the first African player to win Capocannoniere. He is also the first combine that with the Scudetto since 2009.
The last player to do so was Former Sweden international, Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he played for Inter Milan in 2008/09.
Napoli won the title with five rounds to spare and now Osimhen can also enjoy his Capocannoniere status, as Lautaro Martinez fired blanks for Inter Milan on Saturday and cannot go beyond his 21 goals.
The striker is the fourth Capocannoniere for Napoli in the post-war period after Diego Maradona in 1987-88 (when Milan won the title), Edinson Cavani in 2012-13 and Gonzalo Higuain in 2015-16, both with Juventus taking the Scudetto.
