Marcello Lippi claims Gonzalo Higuain “is as important to Napoli as Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.”
The striker has been on stunning form and his brace in the 2-1 win over Inter powered the Partenopei to the top of the Serie A table after 25 years.
“By beating Inter, Napoli sent yet another positive signal, but the Nerazzurri’s performance in defeat was also a sign of good things to come,” ex-Italy Coach Lippi told Sky Sport Italia.

“I liked the reaction of Roberto Mancini’s team to going a man down. The Partenopei have enormous quality and organisation.
“Higuain, at this moment, is as important to Napoli as Messi for Barcelona or Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.”
