It seems that many people suspected that Barcelona would ultimately win the match easily. In fact, I personally am also grateful for betting on Barcelona. We can't really hope for Napoli at the moment. In fact, I doubt they can handle the remaining 10 games of the season in Serie A well. The reason is that there are several matches that will be difficult for them to win, for example against Inter Milan, Atalanta, Milan, Roma and even Bologna. So I personally even doubt that Napoli will be able to finish in the European league zone.
But if you look at the difference in points between Roma and Napoli, which is not much different at the moment, then the opportunity is still wide enough for Napoli to catch up with Roma in points, which is currently ranked 5th. But the problem is that Roma is currently much more consistent than Napoli. Roma became better after De Rossi arrived to fill the coaching bench there.
It is very unlikely that Napoli will finish in the European league zone because their performance has not improved so far, so there is nothing to expect from Napoli.
Their elimination in the last 16 of the Champions League was not surprising, this was predicted from the start.
If you look at the difference in points and mathematically it is still possible to compete fiercely, but we also have to be realistic in looking at the strength of the Napoli team as a whole so I think that in the remaining matches this season Napoli will not be able to take full advantage of it and that is the reason I am so sure that Napoli will not can finish in the European league zone this season.
Napoli is ranked 7th in the Serie A standings and in the last few matches Napoli have not performed optimally to win, they have suffered too many defeats and also draws.
There are still a few weeks left in the competition but in the 28 matches that have been played, Napoli have only been able to achieve 12 wins with 8 defeats and 8 draws, clearly this is bad result for Napoli, the team that won Serie A then season.
And for this season, I also have confidence that Napoli will only finish the competition by getting Europa League tickets, it is absolutely impossible for them to get UCL tickets under the current conditions.
Moreover, Napoli have also been eliminated from the UCL this season because they lost to Barcelona in the second leg and this defeat was deserved, Napoli will never be able to win against Barcelona even though Barcelona is in bad condition.
Last season Serie A had 4 team that could take part in the UCL competition but for next season if it is the same as before where 4 team could take part in the UCL then it is natural that some people think that Napoli can fight to get more points to improve their standings.
But the difference can be said to be quite large and I really believe that Napoli will not be able to do it.
