Serie A: Osimhen Becomes Second Nigerian to Win Scudetto, Breaks Other Records

Victor Osimhen has helped Napoli win their first Seria A title after 33 years.
He became the second Nigerian to win the Scudetto after Napoli’s historic feat on Thursday night.
The Partenopei claimed their first Serie A title in 33 years after playing out a 1-1 draw with Udinese at the Dacia Arena.
Obafemi Martins was the first Nigerian to achieve the feat with Inter Milan in the 2005/06 season.
Osimhen not only won it with Napoli this time, he also played a pivotal role in the Partenopei’s victory.
The 24-year-old has so far scored 22 goals and provided four assists in 27 league games this season.
The striker is now in contention to become the first African to win the Golden Boot in the Italian top-flight.
The Nigeria international now holds the record for the most goals in a Serie A season by an African player after erasing Samuel Eto’o’s old mark.
Osimhen is also now the joint highest African goalscorer ever in Serie A (46 goals).
He shares the record with former AC Milan forward George Weah, who is also now the president of Liberia.

La Liga Gives Messi Conditions To Return To Barcelona From PSG

Javier Tebas, the La Liga President, has talked about Lionel Messi’s return to the league.

He said Messi will earn less at Barcelona if he makes a return from Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi is set to leave the Ligue 1 champions this summer when his current contract expires.

The Argentina captain was suspended by PSG this week, following an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia.

It is believed the relationship between Messi and the French club is now broken.

Tebas has now said for Messi to rejoin Barcelona, the La Liga side must also sell players for good amounts.

“If Barça signs Leo Messi, his salary will be less than what it is at Paris Saint-Germain.

“His return is now conditional on selling players. I think that Barça will get a good amount from selling players this summer,” Tebas said.

Erling Haaland Breaks Premier League Record For Most Goals In A Season

Erling Haaland has reached a new milestone in the Premier League.
This comes after he scored his 35th goal of the season for Manchester City in their game against West Ham to break the record for the most goals netted in a single Premier League campaign.
The 22-year-old netted his 35th top-flight goal of the campaign in Manchester City’s 3-0 win against West Ham on Wednesday. Nathan Ake gave Pep Guardiola’s side the lead, before Haaland notched his record-breaking strike. Phil Foden added City’s third to wrap up an important three points at the Etihad Stadium.
Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole held the previous record for Newcastle and Manchester United respectively – and no-one had come close until Haaland turned up to City. The forward shattered the feat with five matches to go in spectacular fashion as Pep Guardiola’s side chase their fifth title in six years.
It was a sumptuous finish from the forward as he dinked the ball over the onrushing Lukasz Fabianski, having been played through by Jack Grealish. The Norwegian had been relatively quiet up until the goal but showed his pure class and what he can do when given a clear-cut chance.
Haaland now has 35 in the Premier League and 51 in all competitions – a remarkable tally for a striker that was written off by many after missing a number of chances in the Community Shield in July. However, he has proven to be a top-class signing for City since his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund.
After scoring his first City goal against, ironically, West Ham in August, Haaland has not looked back ever since. He scored twice at the London Stadium on the opening day of the season, before striking a further 13 goals in his next eight top-flight matches as he continued his impressive start in England.
He now holds the overall record and has another five games to add to his tally.
He was given a guard of honour by his team-mates, boss Pep Guardiola and the club’s backroom staff after the final whistle at Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men are also set to face Real Madrid in the last four of the Champions League and will face Manchester United in the FA Cup final in June, as they try to win a remarkable treble.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the West Ham game, Haaland simply replied “yes” when asked if he would trade his goals for three trophies this season.
However, he added: “Everyone knows it’s possible but we cannot think of the FA Cup final now when we play Leeds in three days.
 
“If you do this you are not good in your head.”
