Napoli really are something else, hope they don't bottle this. Would be some story. 0-5 winners today.

They're out of the Europa league! 
lost on away goals to RB Lepzig.
lol. my point still stands though!
They played a B-team in the tie no? Seemed from the beginning that they were focussing 100% on their domestic campaign, rightly so
Yeah, Europa League is for the teams who don't have anything else to fight for. Napoli haven't won a league title in almost 30 years, so they can't jeopardize that. Too bad that Atletico are so far behind Barcelona, or maybe they would've used a B-team at some stage as well.

Terrible news. Fiorentina captain Astori has been found dead in his room just before today's match
That's crazy, died in his sleep. Only 31 years old
All Serie A games today have been postponed as a consequence.
Touching tribute from Gianluigi Buffon.
"You have a young wife and family members who are suffering. Your little girl deserves to know that her father was in all respects a perfect person. You were the best expression of an ancient, surpassed world, in which values such as altruism, elegance, education and respect for others, were the masters.
"You were one of the best sports figures I came across."
Incredibly sad news.
Sad news indeed, it also means AC Milan are fresher v us.
Fresh or not doesn't matter. I lost count of the amount of time we lost to a team who just played 2 or 3 days ago while we had a week of rest and refreshed.
Anyway Conte was almost in tears pre-match talking about Astori. Good player and great human being.
Sad news. RIP. I remember hoping he’d sign for us when we were linking a year or so back. Very elegant player
Police open investigation on Astori's death for possible Manslaughter.
Thought it was suspicious.

Mauro Icardi just scored four goals on an away pitch, against Sampdoria. Took him 14 minutes to get a hattrick. The backheel finish for his second goal was Henry-levels of filthiness:

Donnarumma just made the save of the year in the dying minutes vs Napoli. Haven't seen anything like it in years
Shame that it probably seals Juves 75th consecutive title win
And Sampdoria already look under pressure early. Will need to look up your save

That's superb
Insane save mostly because he was on his way to the bottom left corner before Milik even touched the ball. Most good keepers anticipate corners before the shot is taken but few do it as consistently and early as Donnarumma
Couldn't stop the master of chaos though
That save is utterly insane.
Juve's lead at the top went from nine to four points within a couple minutes, conceded a bicycle kick against Crotone of all teams to drop two points
Napoli still play at their ground plus they have a couple more tough fixtures like Inter and Roma plus a cup final vs Milan. Pretty crazy that Napoli are back in it, who would've thought at the beginning of the season the Serie A title race would go down to the wire
Been watching Juve-Napoli this evening. Napoli have been very good, Juve have done what they do but have been far from impressive. Unfortunately, Napoli have run out of steam in the past 5 minutes - don't think they can do this.
Allan is basically the Brazilian Coquelin. Oh and Milik is a rubbish footballer. And Dybala was taken off at half time for being a lazy little shit!
KOULIBALLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Brilliant, towering header. So so deserved. Get in!
There's only gonna be 1 point in it.
Full time. They've done it. Brilliant performance from Napoli. Pathetic from Juve.
Inter and Roma away for Juve now. Napoli might just do this!
That was some Bendtner vs Spurs type of header. Smashed it in at a height of 2.50m apparently
Let's hope Napoli can win the title, they bloody deserved it for their performances this season
Not that I disagree but Juventus have been insanely consistent to be fair to them, before their recent blip they won literally every league game from early December until end of March
Regardless of who wins the title this Serie A season has been one of the best in European football in a long time. Almost into May and the title, CL and EL spots are up for grabs plus the ongoing relegation battle. Can't think of any season this competitive in ages
Shame that flobs has missed all of it due to its gutter league status 
Who is the best player in the Serie A?
The guy who is destroying every defence in the Premier League was not, that's all I know.
jones, who’s the best player in the serie A?
Is it still Gervinho?
What's the in joke?

Nothing about tonight's result?
Great use of VAR. Too bad that Juve turned it around.
