Do we want to talk about Kvaratskhelia then?
This is a champion, he has a rage inside that makes you understand that with him on the pitch you lose the game only if the others have really been better and more bad than you.
Osimhen?
An animal, if you throw the long ball forward, he always takes it. It is difficult for the opponent to be able to stop him. In the second half Napoli played many balls on Victor, who only missed the goal.
