MILAN, March 29 — Napoli renew their bid for Champions League football on Saturday when they take on rivals Atalanta with the Juan Jesus racism storm making it a bitter Easter weekend for the ailing Scudetto holders.
But such a serious accusation — which Acerbi denies despite apologising to Jesus on the pitch — aimed at a current Italy player caused a huge controversy which carried right through the international break.The episode left a sour enough feeling in Naples that Napoli decided to pull their support for FIGC-sponsored anti-racism initiatives, calling them “purely cosmetic”.
Roma currently sit in fifth, six points in front of Napoli ahead of their trip to Lecce on Easter Monday, and are one of three direct rivals for the Champions League yet to visit the Stadio Diego Maradona. Barone subsequently died, leaving Fiorentina stunned and both clubs wondering when they can fulfil their unplayed fixture.
However Victor Osimhen will be back up front for Napoli after missing the 1-1 draw at Inter with a hamstring problem.
