Cannavaro: Wrong to compare Kvaratskhelia with Napoli great Maradona

Italy's World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro has praised Napoli attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

However, he stops short of comparing the Georgian with Diego Maradona.

He said, “Any comparison would be blasphemous. The two (Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen) are very strong, but this season was won because the coach presented a competitive group that had exceptional consistency.

“Osimhen and Kvara in Turin were less brilliant, but they had Elmas and Raspadori, who like Simeone were decisive. Napoli is this and much more.

"Winning against Juve was the seal. Because Scudetti always pass through Turin, a symbolic place."
