Player of the match: Stanislav Lobotka
While it might not be obvious, Lobotka remains a fundamental part of this Napoli side. An anchor that balances the build-up and protects the defensive line. The midfielder managed five tackles, more than anyone on the pitch. Working relentlessly to cover for the attacking full-backs and teammates, all while being indispensable in recycling the ball and restarting attacks.
