This year they made a big work and only now finished their path in UEFA Europa League with the loss to Arsenal. Of course, losing Sarri and game maker Jorginho effected badly to the team and this season was like a preparation for the next one. Cristiano Ronaldo is displeased with the team players because they are mentally weak. That could really make constant Napoli rivals weak, they will have a chance to prove themselves in Italy one more time.

Unfortunately, Amadou Diawara and Adam Ounas will miss the next match due to injuries. Fortunately, that Raul Albiol and Lorenzo Insigne back to the squad, which makes Napoli stronger.
