Napoli who are already on a two-goal advantage after their first encounter proved their class over their German opponent as they made sure they kept clean sheets in the two fixtures.
Osimhen expectedly lived up to expectation to score twice in the 45+2nd minute just before the break and doubled the lead eight minutes later.
Napoli were awarded a penalty and Piotr Zieliński serves the right into the back of the net to seal the victory for the Parthenopeans.
Elsewhere, Liverpool have been knocked out of the competition after a 6-2 defeat on aggregate from ReaI Madrid. The Reds needed five or more goals to overturn the scoreline but the Jurgen Klopp boys were no match for the Los Blancos who are aiming for their second conservative European glory.
All qualified teams including Real Madrid, Napoli, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Inter Milan and AC Milan will know their opponents on Friday, March 17 after the draw.
