After a string of scrappy Atalanta attempts to get the ball clear, a loose ball falls to Politano 14 yards from goal, but his strike is also kept out by Musso. Osimhen busts into the penalty area before fizzing a ball across the six-yard box which Musso palms into the centre of the goal but there's no one there to take advantage.

Minutes later, however, Napoli inevitably took the lead when Kvaratskhelia produced a moment of excellence to fire the league leaders in front. Napoli started the second half much like they ended the first, with waves of attack threatening the Atalanta goal.

A team with a manager, in Luciano Spalletti, who seemed destined to be a perpetual bridesmaid and never a bride. A mass exodus of star players.

He has done that and much, much more — his balletic dribbling and beguiling technique have earned him a nickname, Kvaradona, that is the highest possible praise in these parts. Kim Min-jae was poached from Fenerbahce to replace Kalidou Koulibaly and has been a rock at the heart of defence. A team with a manager, in Luciano Spalletti, who seemed destined to be a perpetual bridesmaid and never a bride. And that is exactly what is about to happen again for the first time in 33 years.
