2023 Ballon d’Or: Victor Osimhen Ranked 8th Best Player

Osimhen was in impressive form for the Italian side as they clinched the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years. He won the Pichichi - the highest goalscorer prize - last season as the Naples team emerged winners of the league.

Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen was ranked number 8 in the 2023 Ballon d’Or award which was held in Paris, France on Monday night. He thus becomes the first Nigerian to make the top ten of the Ballon d’Or.

The Napoli forward became one of the few Nigerians to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or and went a step further by making the top ten.

Osimhen was in impressive form for the Italian side as they clinched the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years. He won the Pichichi – the highest goalscorer prize – last season as the Naples team emerged winners of the league.

The 24-year-old scored 26 goals to become the first African to win the prize. Osimhen was the highest-ranked player from the continent at this year’s award. The closest is Liverpool and Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah who was ranked eleventh.

Congralations to Nigerians

So why did SerieA give Kwara best player over Osihmen.??

Italians and racism.

So the next Napoli player on that list is on number 24 but Napoli no dey rate Victor.

Well, life na by Grace Sha, may God's Grace decorate our portion.
Amen!

Congratulations to Leo, though I think they should have given it to someone else just to allow others to those who don't have to have 1.
What's the need of giving another 1 to someone who has 7 already, when alot of good players do not have any?

Well, this Life dey one kain.

Osimeh robbed.

How is vinicious ahead of him?

What did he play last year?
