"Matteo Politano has suggested that AC Milan are Napoli's main rivals for the Scudetto rather than the current table-toppers Inter. It was yet another weekend in Serie A where the table had multiple leaders at different points. While Juventus drew and Roma lost to create a bit of separation for the top three, Milan beat Cagliari, then Napoli won at Lazio and Inter got past Bologna, to leave the Nerazzurri top by one point."
""We wanted to start this new year well against a strong team, especially at home. In the first half we were good at dominating and scoring two goals," he said. "Can we do better than in 2025? This is our goal, but we know it won't be easy. There are three competitions and we want to approach them in the best possible way. Now we want to stay close to Milan.""
"While Juventus drew and Roma lost to create a bit of separation for the top three, Milan beat Cagliari, then Napoli won at Lazio and Inter got past Bologna, to leave the Nerazzurri top by one point. Napoli pipped Inter to the title last season and many predicted it to be another two-horse race between them this time. However, both have already lost to Milan this season, and Napoli defeated the Nerazzurri at the Maradona earlier in the campaign."
AC Milan are identified as Napoli's main Scudetto rivals rather than current leaders Inter. The Serie A table had multiple leaders during the weekend as Juventus drew and Roma lost, creating separation for the top three. Milan beat Cagliari, Napoli won at Lazio, and Inter beat Bologna to sit top by a single point. Napoli aims to improve on 2025, pursue success across three competitions, and remain close to Milan in the title race. Both Napoli and Inter have already lost to Milan this season, and Napoli defeated Inter earlier, setting up a potentially fascinating title battle.
