While Arsenal is terrorizing the Premier League, one of the most dominant runs in Europe is being overlooked. Napoli is putting every opponent through a grinder. Their star, Victor Osimhen, is getting compared to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Serie A table looks like a typing error as Napoli is 18 points ahead of the 2nd placeholder.

With just 1 defeat in 24 matches, this Goliath of a run is getting overlooked by many. They are proving they are the better team in the league. Other teams are competing and there strongly battle for the 3rd and 4th spots, but every team at this point has accepted their fate as Napoli keeps on smacking every team in the entire league.

Juventus looks like they will make a comeback. They lost 15 points as per the court order due to financial mishandling. The decision saw them dropping to as low as 12, but now they are bouncing back and might have a shot at qualifying for UEFA. The stats of Roma and Milan look like they are twins. Both teams have played exactly the same matches, with the same WDL and hence the same points.

Osimhen entering ‘Ronaldo’ territory

Napoli star Victor Osimhen is tearing defenders of Serie A apart. He has played the least number of games in the top 3 but has by far the most goals. His average minute per goal is 88. This means on average he has scored one goal in each match. This is not just technicality. Victor Osimhen has scored at least one goal in his last 8 matches in Serie A. This is an astronomical feat.

The last person to achieve such a feat was Cristiano Ronaldo for Juventus. His record was scoring in 8 consecutive matches, which Osimhen now equalizes. On the 4th of March Napoli will face Lazio, and if everything went as it should, Victor Osimhen will be breaking this monstrous record of the Portuguese superstar.

Their amazing form means that they will easily be walking to the next round of the UEFA Champions League. They will face Frankfurt in the 2nd leg of the round of 16 on 16th March. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is in Saudi Arabia making records.

Yet another record by Cristiano Ronaldo

While his record in Europe is about to be in shambles, the Portuguese star is putting Saudi Arabian defenders into a frenzy. Yesterday against Damac, he became the first player in league history to score a first-half hat trick. His explosive game single-handedly took the team to a win.

Ronaldo is setting up a wave in Saudi Arabia and that might lead to some big names deflecting to play with him. There are a couple of names that Al-Nassr is keeping tabs on. If everything goes according to their plan, the summer window will be the biggest event in the league’s history. How will it actually turn out, though? Only time can tell.
