"We were a team that stepped onto the pitch knowing exactly what we wanted to do. It will be another game tomorrow, the second one, and Cagliari will want to confirm the good things they did against Fiorentina. So, if we think we're Napoli, and we'll win just because we have the Scudetto on our shirts, we'll make a big mistake. If we match the intensity that they will bring, then we'll deliver an excellent performance."
"As I said before the start of the season, it will be a very difficult league, as always. There will be a great balance. I see seven or eight well-equipped clubs, and there will be a real battle. I say this very honestly, it's going to be tough. There are seven, eight sides that are strong enough to aim for everything."
Napoli began the Serie A title defence with a 2-0 opening-day win over Sassuolo, with Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne scoring. The club’s unbeaten run stands at 13 matches (W8 D5), the longest across Europe's top five leagues. Napoli return to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to face Cagliari, whom they defeated on the final day of 2024-25 to lift the Scudetto. Cagliari will aim to confirm their good display against Fiorentina, requiring Napoli to match their intensity and focus. Up to eight clubs are regarded as capable title contenders, and Napoli will also compete in the Champions League group stage.
