After the November pause, Napoli does not impress with the results. In five games in all tournaments, the Blues defeated only Lazio (4-0). In the last round of the Italian championship, the Parthenopeans lost at home to Atalanta (2-3) and missed the lead in the Serie A standings. AC Milan and Internazionale won their matches and displaced the ex-leader of the championship to third place.
