THE STATE OF PLAY!
After 21 league matches this season, Napoli sat at the top of the Serie A leaderboard, with a 13-point advantage over second-placed Inter!

A lot of credit also has to go to managerial mastermind Luciano Spalletti, who’s transformed the mentality at the club since taking over in May 2021!
