Allegri collapses: Napoli in crisis, Inter fear Champions League

Spalletti breathes a sigh but Juventus fails to shine, while Napoli is in deep crisis and Inter fears for the Champions; fans also witnessed sexist insults directed at referee Ferreri Caputi.

The contribution of Alajbegovic and Boga

Two eurogoals by Alajbegovic and Boga saved Spalletti's bench in the match against Napoli. These individual goals allowed Juventus to snatch a win. However, the team only showed a slight increase in grit.

Structural problems of Juventus and Napoli

Juventus continues to suffer from difficulties in building play, defensive compactness and the lack of a true reference striker. Kolo Muani, a starter despite a cost of around fifty million, does not score and makes simple errors. Napoli, on the other hand, records a fourteen‑point gap from the top after ten matchdays, a huge difference.

Antonio Conte was right: the Neapolitan side is made up of players with an average age over thirty and many are physically worn out. The lack of motivation is evident and the team appears to be in a late‑cycle phase that needs deep renewal.

From Allegri it was reasonable to expect more results, but the tactical difficulties and the players' performances remain insufficient. Inter, despite having a quality squad, appears mentally worn out, especially in midfield, where the same structure has been present for years.

Refereeing criticism and general atmosphere

In the Como‑Venezia derby referee Ferreri Caputi signalled a penalty for Venezia, then cancelled it by VAR thanks to the intervention of the Cosso‑Giua pair. VAR, so far rarely used, returned as a protagonist in an unexpected way.

The sexist insults captured by microphones caused outrage, while institutions remain silent in the face of these violences. The refereeing situation is aggravated by obvious fouls not being whistled and by a game management considered too slow.
