Napoli's Struggle for Champions League Qualification: A Mixed Result Against Torino

The meager point reached by Napoli against Torino, in the end, even becomes a point gained: Bologna stops in one of the big matches of the day and succumbs to the steamroller Inter: the goal by Bisseck decides the 6 PM match and slows down Thiago Motta's team, which hoped to be able to extend its lead for the fourth place and still chase the Champions League. A Champions League that now gets into full swing: tomorrow Fiorentina and Roma will play the finale of a round that constantly looks at the top spots and meanwhile Napoli, under Francesco Calzona, is not completely cut out from the race for the 4th or even 5th place, which seems more and more like an additional door to the Europe that counts. A gained point or two lost? According to the fans, the draw against Juric's team yesterday at the Maradona has definitely complicated matters. The standings, however, say the opposite. At least for tonight: the blues move to -7 from Bologna waiting for the entire round to complete. In a week, however, the burden of Inter will touch exactly Osimhen and his teammates: next Sunday, in fact, Inter-Napoli at San Siro will be perhaps the biggest obstacle for the blues in the chase for the Champions zone, with the schedule presenting the bill after the break Atalanta (but at the Maradona). The numbers still do not condemn Calzona's band, which, however, must wake up. And dream, perhaps, only next Tuesday, when the Champions will already be a reality in Barcelona against the blaugrana.
