Former Italy coach Marcello Lippi feels Napoli are genuine title contenders after their thumping of AC Milan.
Lippi cast his eye over the current Serie A scene in an interview with GR Parlamento.
"Napoli can win the Scudetto, even if they are superstitious and prefer not to talk about it," said Lippi.
"They are a fixture of Italian football that cannot be denied. When a team goes to Manchester City and plays with that style, then beats Milan 3-1 with such authority, you can't go back. My friend Walter Mazzarri must learn to live with the word 'Scudetto' following him around.
"Edinson Cavani is extraordinary and last night didn't allow the defenders to stop him scoring, as he hit them all first time. When you're faced with a striker who moves that quickly, there's little a defender can do."
