Move over, Marvel—Napoli might’ve found their newest superhero in Romelu Lukaku! 🔥 The Belgian forward stole the spotlight during Sunday’s 4-0 thrashing of Cagliari, scoring once and assisting twice in a performance that had fans chanting his name louder than a Taylor Swift chorus. 🎤
Conte’s Comeback Kids?
Under new coach Antonio Conte, Napoli’s looking more like the 2023 title-winning squad than last season’s drama-filled side. After a rocky debut loss, the team’s now racked up three straight wins—scoring 9 goals and conceding just 1. 🛡️ Lukaku, reuniting with Conte after their Inter Milan glory days, is quickly becoming the squad’s MVP. 'He’ll become fundamental for us,' Conte declared post-match. 💪
Match Highlights: Chaos & Magic
The game had it all: an 8-minute pause due to crowd chaos (😅), goalkeeper Alex Meret pulling Matrix-level saves, and Lukaku & Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s tag-team brilliance. Kvaratskhelia returned Lukaku’s assist favor with a cheeky steal from Cagliari’s goalie blunder. Talk about teamwork! 🤝
New signing Alessandro Buongiorno even capped the night with his debut Napoli goal. Cue the fireworks! 🎇
