Fourth-placed Inter Milan have also won the table, with 65 points, two points behind Napoli.
Roma, who are fifth-placed, are 10 points behind Inter Milan with 55 points, and now they are no longer eligible to challenge for next season's Champions League, and they will continue to miss the Champions League next season.
Naturally, at this time, Napoli are already twelve points ahead of Roma, and Napoli are now confirmed to qualify for next season's Champions League.
At this time, the task of the league is basically completed.
However, at this time, Napoli still have to play these last three league games.
And in this match in the 36th round of Serie A this season, Napoli's opponent is SPAL.
SPAL have been in good form this season, now 10th in Serie A with 43 points, but the difference between them and Lazio, who are 18th in Serie A, is only eight points, and with three games remaining, SPAL is not without the possibility of relegation.
In this game against Napoli, SPAL still hopes to go all out and win the opponent's to succeed in relegation.
Napoli, for their part, are also very serious about this game, and they also want to see how the dark horse of the SPAL team is now, and they are already preparing for next season's league at this time.
The current style of play of the SPAL team is very similar to the traditional Italian style of play, they all go directly to the air route, which is simply an air attack team.
The Chinese fans gave the Spal team a dart nickname, mainly because the Spal players were tall and thin, and they were a little fluttery when they ran.
For this game, the players of the Napoli team naturally wanted to win very much, and the players went to the away stadium by car to participate in this game, and Jiang Chen appeared in the starting list.
In today's game, the Napoli team did not have a full lineup, and Sarri asked the players of the Napoli team to take a rest, since the suspense of the league is gone, there is no need to run out of bullets in his hand, in case of major injuries, it is not good.
Now Jiang Chen has a new Serie A record that is about to be achieved, that is, to become the first non-European and American player in the history of Serie A to score 30 goals in two consecutive seasons.
Jiang Chen completed more than 30 goals last season, and now Jiang Chen's Serie A goals have reached 29 this season, and he is only one goal away from completing this record, and Sarri is also happy to complete Jiang Chen, so Jiang Chen started today.
However, before the game, Sarri made it very clear to Jiang Chen that no matter what the situation is, Jiang Chen only has half a game, and he hopes that Jiang Chen can put all his energy into protecting himself, don't get injured, and the league will end soon.
Jiang Chen only has half a game time in this game, which is still difficult for Jiang Chenlai, after all, this is a Serie A game, and no one can guarantee that he can score.
Moreover, the strength of the opponent of the Napoli team today is not weak, and it is really difficult for Jiang Chen to complete the goal.
At the beginning of the game, the SPAL team took advantage of the home advantage to attack aggressively, although they are not all the main force today, but they are united today, they do not want to be relegated, they hope that this game, can win the Napoli team, early relegation success.
And if they win this game, it will be more comfortable for the Spal team against other teams in the middle of next week, at least it will help them in terms of confidence.
At the beginning of the game, the Spal team attacked fiercely, and their high-altitude bombing gave the Napoli team a lot of trouble, and the Napoli defenders were a little tired.
At the beginning of the first half, the striker of the SPAL team, Antenucci, hit the goal directly with a header in the penalty area, and almost broke through the goal of the Napoli team, which was regarded as giving the Napoli team a dismount.
After that, the Spal team was frequently attacking the Napoli team's goal, and the Napoli team's defenders were under a lot of pressure and even a little unable to resist.
Today's Napoli team's backline is not the main backline of the Napoli team, they are mainly young players, and they really can't withstand the air attack of the Spal team.
The Spal team is playing more and more, besieging the Napoli team, bringing more trouble to the Napoli team, and the Napoli team's goal is very busy in this game, constantly directing the defenders and making saves.
In terms of attack, the Napoli team did not give the Spal team much threat, although Jiang Chen was on the field, but his state was really bad today, and he didn't take advantage of two good opportunities.
The first shot on the edge of the penalty area was weak and flew directly into the arms of the Spal goalkeeper, and the second time was a header from the penalty area, which flew the ball directly off the line.
The fans of the SPAL team at the scene were very excited, it seems that the Napoli team is not very good, it seems that they still have a chance to win each other this season.
Therefore, the players of the SPAL team really played with confidence, they pressed on the ground, attacked wildly, played high, and directly carried out air strikes on the Napoli team, and the effect was really good.
In the 25th minute of the first half, the home team of the SPAL team finally pried open the goal of the Napoli team, and the striker of the SPAL team, Antenucci, once again received a cross from a wide player in the penalty area, he jumped directly high, shook his head, and smashed the football into the goal of the Napoli team.
This time, Napoli's goalkeeper Sepe was unable to block Antenucci's header, and Napoli fell behind by one goal, which made the fans of the SPAL team very happy.
The players of the SPAL team on the scene feel that the strength of the Napoli team is only like this, and it seems that they have a chance to hit the European places next season, and they are very confident that they can win the Champions League-level Napoli team in this game.
Sarri saw the performance of the SPAL team on the sidelines, he also had a headache, Napoli team this game, the back line is indeed a little young and inexperienced, and some can not withstand the high-altitude bombardment of the SPAL team.
At this time, Sarri hopes that Napoli's forward line can be reinvigorated and put pressure on the Spal team's goal, so that there will be a lot of pressure on the Napoli team's defense.
