Napoli’s worlds to conquer, Simeone’s decline and Europe’s baldest leagues

Napoli’s worlds to conquer, Simeone’s decline and Europe’s baldest leagues

By The Athletic

The Euro crew of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein convene to assess another dramatic weekend. Napoli make it 13 wins in a row while Inter also turn on the style. But the ultras at San Siro enforce a walk-out among the fans whether they like it or not, a reminder of their power. There’s more 99th minute misery for Atletico in La Liga as we ask just how much of this decline is on Diego Simeone? There’s a 97th minute winner from Union Berlin to stay top of the Bundesliga and another stellar display from Lionel Messi in Ligue 1 with Phil Neville sniffing around. Plus Felix, Focaccina and a final in France for Spurs. Produced by Charlie Jones.
