Why are Naples not champions yet? The incredible tiebreaker rule that prevents this

Only a historical disaster can stop the Naples to become champions of Serie A. Although the Diego Armando Maradona party was prepared to take place before the salernitanathe match ended in a draw (1-1).

If you look at the table, there are only 18 points left to play for and the Naples has the same advantage as lazio. But, why hasn’t Spalletti’s team won a championship yet? Well, the logical thing to do is to think that the rule in the event of a tie on points is to look at what they did in individual matches and then, overall. And it is that until the end of the 2021/22 season things work like this.

But things have changed. The A series It is completely innovative and this summer announced a new one in its regulations. In the event of a tie at the end of the season, the teams that remain equal on points they will face a battle to decide the champion. In other words, if Napoli lose their remaining six games and Lazio win both, there will be a rivalry, although it seems unlikely that this will happen.
