At 20:45 CEST tonight, the teams will take to the pitch at the 'Diego Armando Maradona' stadium for the clash between Napoli and Milan, a high-profile match that will close the 31st round of the Serie A Enilive season. Inter’s victory last night at San Siro against Roma has cooled the excitement of both Napoli and Milan fans, who had hoped to reignite the title race. Nevertheless, the game remains crucial for second place and, therefore, for getting closer to qualification for next season’s Champions League. Journalist Enzo Bucchioni shared similar thoughts in his editorial this morning on Tuttomercatoweb.com.
Bucchioni’s comment: "With Inter’s win, tonight’s thrilling match between Napoli, ten points behind, and Milan, nine points behind, has become little more than a kind of play-off for second place. It’s true that there are still seven rounds to go after this one, and the title race will still deserve attention, but the three points for the Nerazzurri have somewhat reduced the match’s significance. It remains, however, a game rich in interest, if only for the distant duel between De Bruyne and Modric, set against the backdrop of that second place, which is a tangible target for both teams."
