Serie A leaders, Napoli was destroyed by defending champions AC Milan, who handed them just their third Serie A loss of the season.
Lazio, who are currently in second place, are still 16 points behind Luciano Spalletti’s team, with Milan moving up to third.
Over Alex Meret, Rafael Leao scored an outstanding first goal, and Brahim Diaz added Milan’s second.
A beautiful solo effort from Leao was added, and Alexis Saelemaekers slid a fourth goal between Meret’s legs.
On April 12 and April 18, these teams will once again face off in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
After losing just one of their first 24 Serie A games, Napoli, who had been nearly unbeatable all season, has suddenly dropped two of their last four games.
Nonetheless, they still only need to win five of their last ten league contests in order to win the Serie A for the first time since 1990.
Since they were defeated 5-1 by Atalanta in 2007–2008, this was their worst loss.
Milan prepared their greatest season performance for the right moment since they know they won’t remain the Italian champions for much longer.
