Can someone tell me how this is a brilliant move?

Bumping this because interested to find out. I plugged it into the engine and black lost a few points in the evaluation but I can see how it cripples whites defence and its a trade of knight vs bishop. With blacks light squared bishop able to come in. If white doesn’t take, the knight the most common move from the engine is the rook sacrifice.

I don't think this is a knight and bishop trade because after Qxc1 we lose our queen through Nxc1
I mean, if white takes knight with the f pawn, I guess it opens up the kingside, allowing for attacks which can probably explain why its brilliant but I am still not sure.
