'With Osimhen they'll regain confidence' - Former Liverpool and Chelsea coach

Posted : 20 April 2023
Rafael Benitez, a former manager of both Liverpool and Chelsea, believes Napoli can overcome a one-goal deficit when they play Serie A rivals AC Milan in a UEFA Champions League, second leg match on Tuesday at the Diego Maradona Stadium.

With the return of their star striker Victor Osimhen, who was sidelined for the first leg at the San Siro due to a minor muscle injury sustained while on international duty with the Super Eagles in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier last month, Benitez believes Napoli can mount a comeback. 

The Parthenopeans didn't put up a terrific show last week because they lacked a physically intimidating striker to trouble the AC Milan defense. 

Osimhen was unfortunate not to score a late winner as his fierce effort hit the woodwork against Verona this past weekend after making his injury comeback.

The Nigerian international, in Benitez's opinion, has the ability to give Napoli the edge in their Champions League matchup.

If he believes in a Napoli comeback, the Spanish football tactician responded: "Milan and Pioli impressed me, the quarter-finals after the Scudetto are to be commended, but the Azzurri are stronger. So the answer is yes, they can do it. With Osimhen they will regain confidence".
