Soccer-Talking points from the weekend in Serie A
Napoli came off worst in the final day battle between three teams for two Champions League spots. Gennaro Gattuso’s side simply needed to beat midtable Hellas Verona to keep hold of the top-four spot in which they began the day. The form book suggested that it was a formality, as Napoli had won three consecutive matches, scoring 11 goals in the process, and the visitors were without a victory in eight games.
