Napoli in the relegation battle: Is the championship already lost?

In Italian football, the SSC Napoli remains in the crisis! After the bitter departure in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, it also set a painful defeat against Lazio Rome in Serie A. On Thursday, the Neapolitans had to take a 1-3 bankruptcy in the capital, followed by a narrow 0: 1 in their home game on Sunday. Coach Rudi Garcia and his team are visibly challenged, while Romelu Lukaku and Co. had to hand in the league lead to Atalanta Bergamo in the 15th round, which is now three points ahead. The fiorentina lurks in the back, which climbed to fourth place with a whopping 1-0 win against Cagliari and is therefore considered a serious rival in the European Cup race.

In the decisive game against Lazio, Gustav Isaksen was the hero of the day, whose deflected shot in the 79th minute secured the happy victory. This defeat catapulted Napoli to second place, but only with a lean point ahead of the Linzers, who try to create the climb as a winless 32nd. The Fiorentina, on the other hand, was able to rely on her goal from Danilo Cataldi (24th) and is now targeting the Conference League home game against LASK this Thursday at 6:45 p.m.
