4-1 now! Juve can't handle Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen. Statement performance, this.
Another sweet goal.
4-1
Oh my goodness, 5-1! It's a rout. Juve had a good defensive record coming into this. Napoli's attack is something else.
Just give them the title.
5-1
Would love to see Napoli win the CL this season, they have probably been the best team to watch in Europe this season.
Before the vultures come and pick the meat off the team.
Napoli love to bottle it, but surely it can't happen from this position. This weekend was the tricky one and they got over that hurdle, with Milan slipping up aswell unfortunately.
Naples have been pushing for this title for a long time now, and should have won it several times, particularly a few seasons ago beating Juve on the run in. If they finally get over the line the club could really go from strength to strength. Could go close to winning the Champions League too
When they started getting to the top echelons of the league well over a decade now, I always thought they'd fall away. But with the team being completely overhauled since then they're still there. They've seemed to have adopted a certain culture on how to play and it's now stuck.
Naples has always been different to the rest of Italy and likewise, Napoli play a very non Italian game, but it's very impressive. They are absolutely relentless, take it to teams home and away, win or lose. Throw everything at it and try and bludgeon teams into submission. It's impressive.
If they overcome the psychological hurdles that have held them back, they could a serious force at European level too. It's hard to see many teams living with them
Don't think Napoli will get pulled apart, and even if players are sold, they just seem to find more and keep hammering away at it. They haven't really fallen away in 15 years at this point, regardless of who comes and goes. I wouldn't worry about them in that regard, compared to say someone like Ajax
Milan very lucky to come away with a point yesterday. Between injuries and poor form to key players they are really only scraping by.
The drop in performance from Tomori is shocking and teams have copped that him and Kalulu have no aerial presence.
How sickened would ye say Insigne is. The year he leaves for money they are looking like scudetto winners.
At least he doesn't have to directly see it like Calhanoglu
Milan are crumbling. 2 down in the super final shamefully being played in Saudi Arabia. Disgraceful defending from Tonali.
Milan have been poor so far but I'd expect them to be better in the 2nd half and wouldn't be surprised if the get a couple of goals.
Money talks in football now, they paid something like €7.5m to host the match. After the World Cup being moved to winter so Qatar could host it we shouldn't be surprised, plus the Supercoppa was held outside Italy before Covid too so it's no surprise they went abroad again.
The Supercoppa also has fek all history or significance in Italy. It's not the same as a despot regime snagging the charity shield.
I don't know, I always saw the Charity Shield as a glorified friendly and never even counted it a a trophy, so no more important. I think the big difference is that the Italian teams need the money but the English would be looking for much more. To make it even worse they're talking about adding another 2 teams to get a couple of extra matches, like the Spanish version.
Well take what the English think of the Charity Shield and minus a million off of it to get the Supercoppa. It was invented because other countries had similar "so why not". I hate that it's in Saudi Arabia but to Italians it's no more significant than the GAA All Stars going to Dubai.
The Spanish thing is a shocking heap of sht and no more important than the Emirates Cup.
Wow!
They will drop from 3rd to 11th in the table.
I'm surprised by how many points they deducted, it's something that every club does to some extent and it'll be interesting to see if any other clubs get penalties.
Ya but Juve keep doing it to a big extent.
It'll be appealed and sure to be overturned
Other clubs have pushed it too but it's very difficult to prove, Juve were only caught because of wiretaps as part of the other investigation.
I reckon they'll get a reduced punishment, maybe 3-5 point deduction rather than the 15.
I still find it hard to believe they discussed this over the phone after all the wiretaps from Calciopoli, you'd think they'd have learned not to discuss anything dodgy on the phone by now.
Do Juve never learn.
Some dodgy boys behind the scenes at that club over the years.
Fully expect an appeal and a reduction.
Pity they weren't relegated.
I was about to say Salernitana have done well at frustrating Napoli but a great finish from Di Lorenzo with the last kick of the half.
2-0. Osimhen grabs another goal as the ball falls kindly. Looking good for Napoli.
Full-time. Napoli go 12 clear for the moment. Over to the chasing pack...
Expecting Atalanta to do a job on Juve tonight. Juve on the wrong end of a thrashing last week and Friday could see the heads drop. Atalanta in **** hot form with 13 goals in their last 2 games.
Big game for Atalanta who are in a 3 way battle for The Champions League.
You would expect them to beat the mid table opposition tonight 🤣
Atalanta 1 up in 4 minutes. Poor from Sczesny.
I stand corrected.
Lookman is having a hell of a season. If I was doing a Serie A team of the half-season, I'd probably have him and Skriniar as the only non-Napoli representatives.
Entertaining game.
Wow, Inter beaten 1-0 at home by Empoli. Skriniar got a red card in the first half. Inter now 13 points off Napoli.
It seems Milan are the only ones that have a glimmer of a chance of keeping the title race alive, but if they lose at Lazio tomorrow...
