Napoli showered Udinese yesterday with goals. With a crushing score, he beat 5-1. Thus, it rose to the 2nd place with 36 matches.
Napoli woke up and shown their best performances at end of season and in the important period for the whole Serie A 2020 - 2021 campaign. They have made their position more solidly on the table. The big win against Juventus brought much confidence to Napoli and they've kept showing it against Udinese.
Tonight, Juventus, AC Milan and Atalanta also have matches with other teams. Of these three teams, Juventus is the most unlucky. They are 3 points behind the other teams. If they are defeated and Lazio wins, the point difference with Lazio will also decrease to 2. If this worst-case scenario happens, Juventus could finish 6 in the league. The scoreboard is very complicated this season. The Juventus adventure for CR7 could end this season.
5th or 6th position is the same for Juventus. They will only feel happy if they end the season in top 4 and have a spot to Champions League. It is a wasteful and failed season for the Old Lady but at least a spot to Champions League will help them have some financial income for next season.
Months ago, Juventus board supported Pirlo and said he will still be a coach of Juventus next season. With worse results recent months and if Juventus end the season beyond top 4, Pirlo might be sacked.
