The blue rule. This could be called the “winning” statistic of Napoli, which this year also sees the most aggressive opponents triumph in the Champions League, those who have thrown the Azzurri out of the competition. To celebrate, this time, is Liverpool: the Reds, last December 11th, beat Ancelotti’s team at Anfield 1-0, effectively sanctioning the elimination of Napoli in the group with Paris Saint Germain.
The shadows of the missed opportunity have lengthened on the Italian team, but this year’s is not a novelty. In 2016-17 the team coached by Sarri had arrived at the first knockout round, but had found the elimination against Real Madrid, which he set with a double 3-1 between Bernabeu and San Paolo. But the first time ever is the 2011-12 license plate: the team then coached by Walter Mazzarri had passed the qualifying round in the great, the match against Chelsea was decided at the last shot but the Blues won and they flew up to the victory of the Cup. A success that has opened a cycle: meeting, and perhaps eliminating, the Azzurri is a half mortgage on the most important trophy.
