Napoli, 3rd position with 73 points and a positive goal difference of +37
Napoli playing the last home game and win the Serie A Week 37 game against Genoa on Sunday 15 May 2022 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Napoli Captain Lorenzo Insigne playing his last game at the Maradona before transferring to his new Club Toronto in the Major League Soccer. Good news for Napoli is that they already qualified for the Champions League next season.
A ray of hope, despite today’s defeat, Genoa still has a remote chance for salvation: in case of arrival at 31 points with Salernitana and Cagliari, Genoa will be safe thanks to the detached classification. To make this happen to Blessin’s men, first of all, victory over Bologna in the last league game, in addition to two draws for Cagliari, committed against Inter and Venice, and the defeat of Salernitana against Udinese. Any result other than these will condemn Genoa to relegation to Serie B.
After the 1-0 of the first fraction, Napoli spreads with the goals of Insigne, on a penalty returned after being signaled by the VAR, and Lobotka. Genoa has time to waste another golden opportunity with Portanova, as in the first half, then literally leaves the field and is overwhelmed by Spalletti’s men. In the final applause and emotion for Lorenzo Insigne’s farewell to his audience.
👉👊Thank you Lorenzo Insigne, grazie mille, you will be always in our hearts. Standing ovation for you. Farewell Capitano and all the best with your new team @TorontoFC 👌 https://t.co/eraD2wotdq
