Napoli really deserved that title last season, of we are to compare their current performance to last season it wouldn't be a match because they are not really doing so well this season. They had lots of competitions last season but were still able to dominate. But no team stays on top forever, Ac Milan might actually be the next big thing this time around but tables can turn at anytime so let's keep watching
Last season, Napoli only focused on domestic competitions, as they missed out on European football after finishing tenth in the Serie A table in the 2023–2024 season. This season, Napoli faces a tougher challenge, with their focus divided as they return to the Champions League. Considering it is still early in the season, their somewhat inconsistent performances might still be tolerable. Conte may need more time after reshaping the squad depth, and they are also still missing Lukaku due to injury.
It is certain that the race for the Scudetto this season will be much more competitive with the resurgence of AC Milan, And AS Roma also has the potential to liven up the competition until the end of the season. I think the top six teams in Serie A currently have a chance to win the Scudetto, and Napoli will have to work hard to defend it.
