Can Napoli Win Another Serie A Title? | OneFootball

Half of the 2024-25 Serie A season has been played and Napoli are in the most talked about position, namely at the top of the rankings. With 22 matches already behind us, we can already draw some conclusions and even try to predict how the title race might end.

Napoli are currently ahead of giants such as Inter, Milan and Juventus. But will this situation continue? The main question is whether the club will be able to win the second Scudetto in three years.

Napoli’s Historic Victory in the 2022-23 Season

Every Azzurri fan can tell much about that season, which became crucial in their history. Before 2023, the championship title remained a distant dream for Napoli for many years because the last time they had raised the coveted cup over their heads was only in 1990.

Just like now, back then, every match was tense and vital and felt like a gamble—just one mistake or one lucky moment could be decisive. Just as the various games on Jackpot City are a source of excitement and vivid emotions, each Partenopei game gave rich discussions and interesting analyses.

And in the end, Napoli still managed to win the championship in style and beauty. The final gap from second place (which was taken by Lazio) was as much as 16 points, and the champions scored an impressive 90 points and did not give anyone a chance to doubt their success.

Understanding Napoli Situation in 2024-25

After such an outstanding triumph, many fans dreamed that their team would be able to win a second title in a row. However, then the undisputed winner was Inter, and Napoli could only find themselves in 9th place in the final ranking. So, last season was somewhat of a disappointment for Azzurri fans.

However, the current situation in the 2024-25 campaign suggests an excellent prospect. This is best proven by just one figure: 22 matches have been played so far, and Napoli have earned 53 points, precisely the number they amassed for the entire season in 2023-24.

Key Players in Today’s Team

As always, when analyzing the team’s state, you must focus on the star players. Who were the standout performers when Napoli lifted the Scudetto in 2023? We can name three key players who contributed to the great victory. They are Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-jae.

Where are each of them now? Talented Nigerian Osimhen demonstrates confidence in playing in the Turkish club Galatasaray, where he plays on loan. Young Georgian Kvaratskhelia recently moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he became the first representative of his country in this club. And the player from South Korea, Kim Min-jae, moved to play for Bayern Munich in 2023.

So, who can be considered the main stars of the Azzurri team today? If you have to name just one, it would definitely be Romelu Lukaku. The talented Belgian confidently occupies the position of leader of Napoli and demonstrates confidence when playing match after match. For example, in the recent game against Juventus, he scored a beautiful penalty kick to give the Partenopei all three points. It is also worth noting Frank Anguissa’s excellent performances. The Cameroonian also scored a goal against Juventus and regularly deserves praise this season.

Antonio Conte’s Approach and Comments

In the summer of 2024, Napoli got a new coach and it was the famous Italian Antonio Conte. Antonio took some time off after leaving Tottenham to rest and recuperate. And after that, with new motivation and a strong desire, he took up work with Azzurri.

Conte has stated more than once recently that Napoli are having difficulties because key stars have moved to other clubs and they had to adapt to this. Of course, the main example here is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was eagerly taken by PSG right in the middle of the season. However, the team is ready for change and moving forward.

Antonio emphasized the importance of victories against such strong teams as Atalanta and Juventus and how this affected Napoli’s confidence in their abilities. The Italian said Napoli are working hard and will not stop for a second to continue moving towards the championship title despite all the transfers and player injuries.

Summing Up for Now

Napoli have shown a bright and clear playing style and their readiness to fight for the top positions in the rankings match after match. They already have 53 points in their arsenal, which means the season has definitely become better than the previous one. Azzurri showed character in the recent match against Juventus coming back from one goal down in the second half to claim all three points.

Of course, the fans, the coach, and the bookmakers understand that a long, difficult road is still ahead. Many matches will be played, and many goals will be scored. But if Napoli continue to show their best, it is quite possible that they will conquer another Scudetto this year.
