In this 28e lifting of Serie A, the Neapolitans made the difference on a double from Mertens in the first period (27e, 34e).

This victory allowed them to drop the Giallorossi to return to only two lengths of the podium and Juve, with always a game to catch up against the Bianconeri.

Despite this third success in a row in the league, Gattuso remains in the hot seat on the bench of Napoli, at odds with President De Laurentiis.

The Italian press judges Sarri the favorite to succeed him this summer. A prospect that does not necessarily delight the tifosi, still upset by the Turin parenthesis of the person concerned (Naples coach already between 2015 and 2018) at the end of his adventure at Chelsea.
