Following the three-nil victory against Rangers, Napoli have already reached the 20-goal threshold after just 8 matches. Nobody has done better in Europe. After the second group stage game in Champions League, the Azzurri leapfrogged Real Madrid and Manchester City, which were previously in the lead, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
They even left something on the table since Victor Osimhen and Piotr Zielinski missed penalty kicks against Liverpool and in the most recent game. In addition, the Nigerian striker has sat out a few tilts because of a thigh strain. Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori answered the bell, each finding the target at least once.
Napoli have spread the wealth around. Eleven players have made the stat sheet already. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leads the team with four goals, and then a few contributors have hit the net once or twice. Including defender Kim Min-Jae, who exploited his physical exuberance on corner kicks. Among the regulars, the only attacker that has yet to open his seasonal tally is Hirving Lozano. The last one to join the party was Tanguy Ndombélé, who rounded out the score at Ibrox Stadium.
Given the offensive bonanza, the Partenopei approach Sunday’s massive clash in a better spot than Milan. While the Rossoneri are scrambling for solutions to replace the suspended Rafael Leao, they aren’t facing such problem even though they are one key player short.
Our Take on the Napoli Attack
The secret sauce has been shifting the geometry of the attack right away, which is actually centered around Kvaratskhelia and not the no.9. While some brute force is indeed missing, it’s not a huge deal, at least until the Georgian star keeps drawing so much attention and producing at this rate.
