Inter Milan, in second place, have racked up six losses so far and it would take a truly spectacular collapse from Napoli for the Milan club to any threat whatsoever over the rest of the season. Some potentially tougher challenges follow over the coming weeks, with fifth-place Lazio next week and sixth-place Atalanta the week after. That loss might have been an uncharacteristic from the typically humble Luciano Spalletti, who fielded a far weaker side than normal for the cup tie.

Napoli’s second goal, which came in the 65th minute, was the result of a concerted effort involving all three lines of Spalletti’s 4-3-3 formation: Midfielder André Zambo Anguissa played a through ball to Kvaratskhelia, who gently put it down before back-heeling it for right back Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s timely run.

Napoli proudly has some of the most passionate supporters in world football, but even some of the most diehard Neapolitans would not have predicted…
With a convincing 2-0 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their last 16 tie yesterday, Napoli proved that they are mature enough to seriously make some noise. Napoli loves to press and has added a new level of intensity, almost matching the standard set by the Premier League. Born in Georgia, the left-winger was destined to become great due to his continued devotion and passion for football. That equates to 51 goals combined, meaning they have been directly involved in 64% of Napoli’s goals in all competitions. If the opposition decides to push a high line, Osimhen possesses the incredible pace to exploit on the counter with his raw ability on the ball. To make ends meet for his family, Osimhen sold bottled water in large traffic, where he would spread his pocket money out on the table to buy food and other resources.

Only Man City duo Erling Haaland and Phil Foden (33) have scored more in the top five European Leagues this season (and in fairness, Haaland has 26 of these.) With 12 goals and 13 assists to his name in all competitions in 2022-23, Kvaratskhelia is just one of four players to have reached over 10 in both categories. The Nigerian hasn’t had the luxury of availability so far this campaign, after suffering a facial injury at the start of the season. On that giddy night, the Azzurri became the first Italian side to score six goals on the road in a Champions League game. Osimhen’s partnership with Kvaratskhelia has been a real threat so far this season. Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone moved to the club on loan with the duo bolstering Spalletti’s options in attack, having scored a combined 27 goals in Serie A last season for Sassuolo and Verona respectively. With 62 points from 23 games so far, Napoli are the runaway leaders in Serie A this season. Together the pair have scored 28 goals in Serie A this term. They average more passes per sequence and progress the ball directly upfield slower than any other side in the league. On MD1, they thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool 4-1 (inflicting the Red’s joint-heaviest defeat in UCL history) and then went on to eviscerate Ajax 6-1 on MD3.
