Milinkovic-Savic crucial again: six saves from ten penalties | OneFootball

Antonio Conte's Napoli slows down after two consecutive victories against Inter and Lecce. This happens against Cesc Fabregas's Como, which confirms itself as one of the most challenging teams in Serie A. At the Maradona, it ends 0-0 in a match not rich in excitement, but dominated by technique and defensive caution. The Azzurri, however, have to thank their goalkeeper, Milinkovic-Savic, once again, who confirms himself as the best penalty saver in Europe, neutralizing Alvaro Morata's attempt in the first half.

Napoli-Como 0-0: Milinkovic Savic decisive. Seven penalties saved in Serie A

Fabregas's Como halts Antonio Conte's Napoli, which remains at the top of the standings awaiting Milan-Roma, playing tomorrow night. The match at the Maradona ends 0-0 with few chances on both sides, in a match where balance reigned. However, the great protagonist was Milinkovic-Savic, who saved the result in the first half by stopping the penalty taken by Alvaro Morata. For the Serbian, it was the second consecutive penalty saved, after intercepting Camarda's in the match against Lecce on Tuesday.

The former Torino player confirms himself as the best penalty saver in Europe. In fact, it is the sixth penalty saved out of ten in the last two seasons, the seventh out of twenty-four faced in Serie A. Atalanta, Bologna, Milan, Lecce, and Como are the teams that have faced Milinkovic from the penalty spot. The class of '97 was acquired in the summer for about 22 million, to alternate with Meret given the many commitments. However, due to the injury of the Azzurri's number 1, he has become the starter for Antonio Conte's team and is proving his worth.
