Fabio Capello believes Napoli have their own Cristiano Ronaldo in Kalidou Koulibaly but admits ‘the title race is already over’.

Napoli face Juventus in Serie A this Sunday, almost a year since Koulibaly stunned the Bianconeri to take the Scudetto race to the wire, although their rivals go into the match 13 points ahead.

“The title race cannot be restarted on Sunday evening because I think it is already over,” Capello told Il Mattino.

“Nevertheless, it will be a spectacular and fun match involving two of the best-coached teams. There is still a big gap between the teams, even if Napoli are doing everything possible to get closer.

“Taking Ancelotti is a clear sign of that, but it is equally clear that there is a void to be filled not only by Napoli but also by the other Serie A teams.

“On the other hand, if the best team of all signs Ronaldo this summer… Who else but Napoli can stop this tyranny? In short, Inter Milan because I know Suning.

“They are a global force because they have enormous financial power behind them, and to reach certain levels, where Juve is, you need such resources.

“The Ronaldo of Naples? Without a doubt Koulibaly. He is a monstrous and talented defender. Right now he is among the best in the world.
