Napoli’s uneven season continued with a 1-1 home draw against Lazio, extending its winless run to three games across competitions. Lazio stayed near the top of Serie A, while Spanish clubs honored Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, who died after an on-field collision.

By the Numbers
  • Napoli has 4 wins and 3 draws in 11 Serie A games.
  • Lazio and Roma were 2 points behind the league leader; Inter was 4 points back before its match.
  • Tributes for De Miguel took place in the 9th minute of Spanish league games; he wore No. 9.
Yes, But

Napoli avoided a third straight loss, but its draw did little to ease pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri after a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Porto and a 2-0 loss to Juventus.

State of Play
  • Lazio remained unbeaten and secured its place at the top of Serie A for the time being.
  • Spanish league matches paused to honor De Miguel, with Atlético Madrid and Barcelona set to meet later in a clash for top spot.
What's Next

Napoli must find better form to quiet criticism of Allegri. Lazio’s position could shift as the remaining league matches are played, while Atlético-Barcelona will put the race for first place in focus.

Bottom Line

Napoli’s draw stopped the immediate slide but didn’t solve its larger problems; Lazio, meanwhile, is capitalizing on its consistency as tributes across Spain remembered De Miguel.
