Napoli snatched a crucial 2-1 win over Lazio on Sunday and La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights that the victory at the Stadio Olimpico could be the turning point of the Partenopei’s campaign.
Luciano Spalletti’s men have joined Milan on top of the Serie A table and are enjoying a two-point lead over Inter, who have a game in hand. Their latest victory against Lazio has boosted their title hopes ahead of their crucial meeting against the Rossoneri at the Stadio Maradona on Sunday.
La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how Napoli’s victory at the Stadio Olimpico last week showed Spalletti’s men that ‘it’s possible to win also in those games where it’s impossible to play the best brand of football.’
Milan must take ‘the most difficult step’ in crucial week for trophy hopes
Napoli suffered in the first half and were more practical in the second part of the game. Pedro had scored a late equaliser for Lazio, but the Partenopei didn’t give up and pulled one back with Fabian Ruiz in the stoppages.
Napoli ‘gave their all and were awarded’ adding that defensive solidity they’ve never lacked this season.
The Azzurri have the best defence in Italy, with just 19 goals conceded. They’ve won just two Serie A titles in their history, during the Maradona era, in 1987 and 1990. Has the time come to celebrate a new Scudetto?
