Former Juventus player Massimo Mauro offered his analysis of the Serie A season during an interview with Mediaset. He commented, “Inter encountered a Roma side that thoroughly deserved their victory. Napoli played against an opponent wearing *that* shirt – the salmon-colored Torino – and it ought to be a simpler task. Nevertheless, Napoli fully earned their win; they possess players who have tasted success before, and this was evident in their approach to the match. Torino focused solely on marking Lukaku, neglecting the players making runs. [Referring to key Napoli players] showed decisiveness, with Politano also performing well. They demonstrate personality and experience, and they didn`t falter in this crucial fixture.”
Mauro continued, “Inter displayed great determination and application against Bayern until the 96th minute, but this intensity has been absent in the league. Napoli played with real bite – sportingly speaking, of course. Inter couldn`t even match that level. This puts you at risk if you aren`t operating at the same standard as your competitors.”
