Overview
- Juventus beat Napoli 3-0 in Turin, a result that dropped Antonio Conte’s side to fourth in Serie A and widened the gap to leaders Inter to nine points.
- Italian outlets from Gazzetta dello Sport to Corriere dello Sport rated Scott McTominay around 5–6/10, calling him “invisible” and “physically drained” after a full 90 minutes.
- Reports highlighted effective Juventus marking by Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli, noting McTominay’s reduced forward thrust and limited influence.
- Conte acknowledged an extended injury crisis with up to ten first‑team absences and warned it will not ease soon, increasing reliance on a small core of players.
- Napoli face Chelsea on Wednesday in a Champions League decider that requires a result to avoid elimination, as McTominay also voiced support for ex‑club Manchester United and interim coach Michael Carrick.
