Napoli star Edinson Cavani insists they deserve to be considered a title contender.

The Azzurri face AC Milan last night.

"This squad is made up of great men and this characteristic is what pushes us on the field of play," said the Uruguayan.

"Milan have great champions, but we have a squad made up of some excellent players and we'll look to give joy to our fans.

"We have to just play every single game as if it is a Final," he continued.

"It won't be easy to repeat what we did last term, but I'll give everything I have for my teammates and for Napoli."
