after making Napoli look very average for 30 minutes,the Italians became more confident ,and it was Citys turn to do some rather desperate defending,Delph looked a bit baffled ,KDB got ruffled,but the tippy tappy ball retention denied Napoli the chance to build serious enough pressure and the game was seen out

A win's a win.
Napoli are a top side as their record in Serie A shows.

It's well past its lowest point. Has been picking up for a few seasons now.
Juve deservedly made those two CL finals, and they're being challengedfrom several directions this season.
Not saying it's about to enter a new golden era, but it deserves more credit than it generally gets from fans nowadays, not less.

Just not true, the top 6 of Serie A is arguably just as strong as the PL top 6 these days

I think tactically Italian teams will always be hard to beat ,but in terms of individual quality its best days are in the past

Disagree, off top of my head Dybala, Higuain, Cheillini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Buffon, Mertens, Insigne, Hamsik, Jorginho, Icardi, Miranda, Naingolan even Immobile on current form all world class players who'd grace any team
