Napoli, 1987-88

NAPOLI, 1987-88


1987-88 was a sad season for Napoli. Though the team played probably the best championship ever, it was not enough to win, since in the last few matches Napoli lost the five-points lead on AC Milan. It was a real débacle, and the team in the last weeks got really few points before being defeated by AC Milan in the decisive match at the San Paolo stadium on May 1, 1988.
Anyway, in the first half of the tournament and in some matches of the second half, Maradona played an impressive soccer. He played together with Careca, the great Brazilian striker, but the "MaGiCa" attack (it means Maradona, Giordano, Careca) was not enough to win the second title.

In this tournament Napoli ranked second in the league, and AC Milan won the title.

Maradona was the best goalscorer of the whole Serie A.

Here is the full list of the goals scored by Diego:
