• Victor Osimhen missed a decisive spot-kick for Napoli in their 0-0 draw against Bologna
• The club's official platform shared a video trolling him on TikTok, leading to widespread outrage
• The Nigerian striker has a good conversion rate from the spot in his career

Victor Osimhen is not mediocre from the penalty spot despite his miss against Bologna, which has generated widespread outrage following Napoli's troll video.

Osimhen could have earned Napoli all three points against Bologna if he had converted his second-half penalty, and the aftermath of him missing it continues to generate outrage on social media.

Napoli's official TikTok published a video mocking the Nigerian striker, leading to reactions from fans. The video was brought down, and Osimhen had cut a frustrated figure since then.

Corriere dello Sport claimed that there had been bad blood between player and club after he was prevented from shooting a charity video in Africa, and the TikTok saga only heightened his unhappiness.
