Napoli kicked off the defence of their Serie A title in impressive fashion, securing a strong win away to Sassuolo, with Kevin De Bruyne making a decisive impact. The Belgian midfielder, who recently joined the champions, wasted no time in announcing himself, scoring a crucial goal that set the tone for Napoli’s dominant display.
The match at Mapei Stadium saw Napoli dictate possession and tempo, with their new-look midfield offering both creativity and stability. De Bruyne’s strike in the first half not only lifted the team but also energized the travelling supporters, who are hopeful that his experience and quality will add another dimension to Napoli’s game this season.
Sassuolo, despite moments of resilience, struggled to contain the champions’ attacking flair. Napoli’s forward line combined effectively, creating multiple chances and showcasing the same attacking verve that powered them to the Scudetto last season. Defensive solidity and clinical finishing ensured the holders left with all three points.
Analysts suggest Napoli’s early statement win sends a clear message to rivals like Inter, Juventus, and Milan that the defending champions remain a formidable force. With De Bruyne already settling in and contributing, expectations are rising that Napoli could not only defend their crown but also push for a deeper run in European competitions.
