NAPLES – "Until two months ago, the miracle had already been accomplished. Now the real miracle would be winning the Scudetto." These are the words of Salvatore Bagni, a former Napoli stalwart during their first Scudetto campaign, speaking about the final sprint between Antonio Conte's team and Simone Inzaghi's Inter. The Neapolitans are top of the table with 78 points, closely followed by the Nerazzurri on 77. A season finale that promises to be a thrilling one.
Bagni has no doubts: Napoli has already achieved more than anyone could have expected, given the difficult season they've been through. But now, precisely because they're ahead, everything changes: "Being top of the table, even by just one point, with two games to go, is a significant advantage. At this point, it would be a shame not to close the circle."
The former midfielder emphasizes how, in such a tight finale, the details matter most. "In May, your legs aren't working as well as they used to, that's normal. But it can take just one extra run, one play, one incident, a bit of luck. This isn't the time to play well, it's the time to win."
And reaching the top, according to Bagni , can provide the decisive push: "Determination is a given, but the mental energy of those leading the way can make the difference. It takes clarity, hunger, and the awareness of having a great opportunity. Napoli has already achieved a lot, but now they can't settle."
The article is interesting but in my opinion there are too many factors to consider. Napoli did well, but you can't say that the scudetto is already in the bag. The competition is strong and anything can happen in the last few days.
