Napoli and Lazio have secured the top two spots in Serie A for the 2022-23 season, and a remarkable statistic has surfaced regarding AC Milan, Inter and Juventus.
Napoli ended up being the runaway Scudetto winners and despite the fact that Milan were second for the majority of the season up to the World Cup break, the collapses of January and March meant the title defence bid never really got going.
Juventus meanwhile had a 15-point deduction to battle against which was then revoked before a new 10-point penalty was recently applied, and Inter have had an up and down season but will finish in third.
It wasn’t just Napoli’s victory that made this championship special and also – in a certain sense – anomalous.
As OptaPaolo reports, for the first time since the 1984-85 season neither Inter, Juventus nor Milan have finished the season in the top two positions in Serie A. In that campaign, Hellas Verona were first and Torino second.
