Tras clasificarse para la semifinal de la Coppa y derrotar 2-1 a la Juventus en la Serie A, espectacular victoria en casa de la Sampdoria.
El Nápoles amenaza con llegar en un gran estado de forma y confianza a los octavos de final de la Champions League, eliminatoria en la que se enfrentará al Barça los próximos 25 de febrero, ida en tierras italianas, y 18 de marzo, vuelta en el Camp Nou. Tras tocar fondo en el proceso del cambio de técnico, tanto en los últimos partidos con Carlo Ancelotti como en los primeros con Gennaro Gattuso, la reacción quizás no le llegue para colarse entre los cuatro primeros de la Serie A, está lejos todavía, en mitad de la tabla, pero para una competición como la europea ya está preparado para soñar. Lo evidencia la victoria de esta noche a domicilio en el Luigi Ferraris, donde ha superado 2-4 a la Sampdoria. Es la tercera victoria seguida tras los meritorios 1-0 ante la Lazio para entrar en la semifinal de la Coppa y el 2-1 de la pasada jornada contra el líder todopoderoso de la Serie A, la Juventus. Este Nápoles ya va en serio.
Contra la Samporia, el Nápoles, sin los lesionados Fabián Ruiz y Koulibaly, supo competir hasta el final en un partido loco. Comenzó muy fuerte el rival europeo del Barça y en el minuto 16 ya ganaba 0-2 gracias a los goles del polaco Milik y del macedonio Elmas tras respectivas asistencias de Zielinski y Di Lorenzo.
Sin embargo, un gran gol de Quagliarella en el 26’ puso emoción antes del descanso y Gabbiadini, de penalti, empató en el 73’. El partido parecía de cara para la Sampdoria en los últimos minutos, pero apareció el alemán Demme, refuerzo invernal, para colocar el 2-3 en el 83’. En el larguísimo tiempo añadido hubo emociones fuertes y ya en el 98’, con la Sampdoria volcada en el campo visitante, un balón largo y un mal despeje de cabeza del portero Audero fuera del área lo aprovechó el belga Mertens para marcar a portería vacía con calidad desde lejos.
Demme , que entró por el ex del Celta Lobotka, y Mertens, que reaparecía tras mes y medio de baja, salieron en la segunda parte y fueron los goleadores decisivos. También debutó Politano, otro refuerzo invernal. Aciertos de Gattuso.
