"The way they've returned, it seems like they never left, but they really have. We've been without him for many months, even without Lukaku, but the strength of this team has been in never looking for excuses for absence. We never lose our spirit, our desire, and our determination. In times of great emergency, there has always been a great response."
"Very, very satisfied. That's how we won a Supercoppa Italiana and have always remained at the top of the table. It wasn't at all a given. The reigning champions have stumbled slightly in recent weeks, but they have now won back-to-back matches, and they remain third in Serie A, just one point behind second-place AC Milan."
Napoli secured a 2-1 victory over Torino in Serie A, with Alisson Santos and Eljif Elmas scoring the goals. The reigning champions have now won consecutive matches for only the second time in 2026, moving to third place and closing to one point behind AC Milan. The win is particularly significant as Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku returned to full fitness and played together for the first time. Manager Antonio Conte praised the team's resilience during their injury crisis, emphasizing their refusal to make excuses and their consistent desire and determination. Napoli has opened a six-point lead over the chasing pack in the top-four race.
