Italian Serie A has announced the winner of the Goal of the Season award, and it goes to Kvhicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen’s teammate and strike partner. According to sporty9ja.ng, Kvaratskhelia’s solo goal against Ademola Lookman’s Atalanta BC on March 11, 2023, earned him the coveted award.
Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian winger, had an excellent debut season with Napoli, scoring twelve goals and assisting ten in thirty-three games. He also won the Serie A MVP Award, making him one of the most potent players in the league.
The Goal of the Season award-winning goal came after Osimhen picked up a loose ball from Zambo Anguissa and sent Kvaratskhelia through on goal. Instead of going for goal directly, the left-winger went on a mazy solo run, dribbling past defenders, twisting and turning, before slotting the ball into the top-right corner to give Napoli the lead at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Kvaratskhelia’s arrival in Napoli last summer signaled the start of a successful partnership with Osimhen, culminating in Napoli winning the Scudetto and a successful run in European Competitions. At 22, Kvaratskhelia has attracted interest from some of Europe’s richest football clubs. However, Napoli has made its stance clear on keeping the forward at the club next season.
In conclusion, Kvaratskhelia’s Goal of the Season award is well deserved, and it’s a testament to his skill and hard work. His partnership with Osimhen has been instrumental in Napoli’s recent success, and it’ll be exciting to see what the future holds for the Georgian winger.
