While Napoli is in commanding form, their closest rival, Inter Milan, still has a chance to reduce the gap when they take on Sampdoria on Monday. The race for the top of the league remains wide open, with every match providing an opportunity for teams to close the gap.
Earlier in the day, Juventus also secured a hard-fought win against Fiorentina, with Adrien Rabiot scoring the only goal of the match. Despite being docked 15 points in January due to transfer irregularities, the victory helped Juventus move up to ninth place in the league standings.
In conclusion, the Serie A remains highly competitive, with every team fighting to secure their place at the top. With several high-stakes matches still to come, the race for the title promises to be an exciting one.
