Naples, 15 April 2025 – The Napoli there is, and yesterday he proved it. TheInter did his duty, defeating the Cagliari in the advance on Saturday and temporarily taking a +6 in the standings, but the Neapolitans do not want to give up, and with yesterday's convincing victory over'Empoli have shown that they want to push themselves to the end in the fight for the title. The next matches will be decisive, and it must be considered that Inter will have to take the field many more times than Napoli. The Nerazzurri, in fact, will be on the field tomorrow for the match against Bayern Munich, then they will have, in order: Bologna, Milan (In Coppa Italia), Roma, Verona, Turin, Lazio e As an. The two semi-final matches could also be added to these Champions (and the hypothetical final) and the last round of the Coppa Italia. Napoli, on the other hand, will only have to take the field six more times, and will have a calendar that on paper is favorable. From now until the end of the season, Conte's men will face: Monza, Turin, Lecce, Genoa, Parma e Cagliari. There are still 18 points available in the championship, and the final result is yet to be written. If Napoli is in high altitude and continues to follow Inter, the credit also goes to the former Romelu Lukaku, who is a real driving force for the Neapolitans this year. With the Nerazzurri, the Belgian has taken to the field on 132 occasions, scoring 78 goals and 22 assists, and becoming one of the main architects of the title conquest in the 2020-21 season, precisely with Antonio Conte at the helm. Since he took over at Napoli, the Salento coach has wanted the Belgian striker at all costs, who he considers perfect for his style of play, and the results prove him right. Thanks to the goal and the double assist for McTominay In yesterday's game, Lukaku became the second player in the top 5 European leagues to reach double figures for both goals and assists. Before him, only Mohamed Salah, who now sits on 27 goals and 18 assists in the Premier League and recently renewed his contract with Liverpool. The Reds lead the table by a comfortable margin overArsenal second, and they are getting closer and closer to winning the title, while as regards the championship of Serie A Nothing is certain yet, and Napoli will still need the goals and assists of their number 11 to attempt an assault on the top.
