The match report and a chance to comment is merely a click away. Thanks for reading this MBM.

The view from Naples, with Colum Fordham. “Naples calling. What with the change of coach, from Walter Mazzari to Calzona, Napoli will be satisfied with a draw against Barcelona. My students in Naples were pessimistic about tonight’s match after the pathetic 1-1 draw with Genoa but my local grocer Gino was upbeat and thought they’d perform. Which they did, all things considered. Osimhen was tired from the African Cup but showed his class. As did Kavara every so often. Should be a good return match.”
