Napoli unbeaten at home in 2025, Juve beaten, record since 1987 | OneFootball

The 2-1 victory over Juventus marks much more than a prestigious win: it certifies a historic achievement. Antonio Conte’s Napoli closes out 2025 unbeaten at the Maradona stadium across both the league and international competitions, a milestone the Neapolitan team hadn’t reached since way back in 1987.

Napoli, the Maradona is a fortress again, Juve defeated and 2025 ends unbeaten. A record not seen since 1987

Hojlund’s brace, decisive in overturning the match against the Bianconeri, seals a perfect calendar year at home.

There are still a few matches left to play before December 31st – the Champions League away game against Benfica, Serie A fixtures in Udine and Cremona, and the Italian Super Cup matches scheduled in Riyadh – but the calendar no longer includes any home games. In fact, Napoli has already closed its home season with a success destined to go down in the record books.

An invincible Maradona: the numbers behind the feat

Napoli’s last home defeat dates back to December 8, 2024, when Lazio managed to win in Fuorigrotta. From that moment, an impressive streak began: 13 wins and 4 draws in Serie A throughout 2025, in addition to successes achieved in European competitions.

A consistency not seen for 38 years, when the Napoli led by Maradona and Bianchi dominated in Italy and Europe. Today, Conte’s team has rediscovered that spirit, turning their home stadium into an impenetrable environment, where rhythm, aggression, and organization become their trademarks.

Juventus still a taboo: seventh consecutive defeat at Fuorigrotta

The match against the Bianconeri adds another chapter to the narrative of recent years: Juventus has not managed to leave the Maradona unscathed since March 3, 2019.

With the victory secured thanks to Hojlund’s brace, Napoli reaches seven consecutive home wins in the league against their historic rivals, a statistic that confirms just how hostile the Maradona has become for the Turin side.

The symbolic dialogue of the evening was summed up by a fan as he left the stadium: “This is a fortress again. It takes courage to come and play at Fuorigrotta.”

The Conte factor: identity, intensity, and continuity

Antonio Conte’s arrival has brought tactical discipline, mental solidity, and a rare ability to get the most out of the team in crucial moments. Napoli builds its confidence especially at home, where rhythm and aggression blend with the constant emotional involvement of the crowd.

Hojlund, the great protagonist of the last league night at the Maradona, declared after the match: “When we play here, we feel a different kind of push. It’s as if the pitch protects us.”

A perfect summary of the transformation experienced by the Azzurri over the course of the calendar year.

A model to consolidate in 2026

The unbeaten home record of 2025 gives Napoli a solid foundation for the future. Maintaining this consistency will be crucial to facing the challenges of the new season, especially in a league where the battle at the top is increasingly fierce.

The Maradona has returned to being a stronghold. And today, more than ever, Napoli wants to build its competitive identity right there.
