Arsenal hero, Thierry Henry has reacted with disgust at the ugly and controversial but now deleted video mocking Victor Osimhen that Napoli shared on social media, Soccernet.ng reports.
Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and a couple more social media platforms caught fire last week after Napoli posted a video that mocked Osimhen’s penalty miss at Bologna.
The Super Eagles striker had fired his spot-kick wide in a game that eventually ended goalless, leaving a lot of Napoli fans frustrated.
Still, many did not expect Napoli to make Osimhen – who scored 26 goals to propel the club to their first Serie A title in 33 years last season – the scapegoat afterwards.
Henry, the greatest player in Arsenal’s history, is convinced that only racism could have motivated Napoli to turn their arsenal against the club’s best star.
“It is wrong on every level,” Henry said. “What are we talking about? It is, first and foremost, your own team. This is what you do to your own player.
“And yes, it is racism. Do your due diligence. Don’t get upset.
“And by the way, you made a video. It is not a reaction that is still stupid and shocking. You made a video.
“You thought about it and you say, ‘you know what, I have an idea: let me create a video.’
“Really? This is what you create? Your own player!
“And yes, it is racist.”
