Napoli, on the heals of the massive win v Lazio, travelled to Emilio-Romagna to face Sassuolo at the Mapei. Unfortunately, Napoli squandered a 2-0 lead late and the match ended 2-2. Milan, Inter and Atalanta win, so the lead is cut dramatically and 1-4 are now separated by 5 points. Raffa in the house to Rant all about it.

Big time statement for Napoli where we defeat Lazio 4-0 at the Maradona on a night we celebrate the life of Diego Armando Maradona one year after his untimely passing. In to give a Lazio persepctive is Shawn McIntosh of Lazio Lounge and The Laziale, as we cover Frenemies in a special duel episode. Napoli take sole possession of first place, while Sarri returns to Fuorigrotta in a forgettable night for his biancocelesti. We also talk a little Italian National team and, of course, crown this round's "Beast of the Match"

Raffa's guest this week comes all the way from India. His name is Hanu and he is in charge of the Spartak Moscow English Twitter account. We talk about how he got the gig, what he does for them and how being the Twitter guy has turned him into a big fan of Spartak. Hanu's work has been revered as of late with his light hearted banter and caught the attention of a lot of people in the industry, so it's an extra pleasure for him to come on with us. Oh...we talk about the upcoming Matchday 5 encounter in Russia as well, #SpartakNapoli. Don't miss this one!

In this episode, Raffa and Frenemies returns with our guest Rick Hough, the author of "Notes From Verona". Here, we chat up about a very in form Verona side, manager Igor Tudor's impact on their squad and red hot Giovanni Simeone, who's 8 goals (4 v Lazio and 2 v Juve in their last 3 matches) is already a team best over the last 3 seasons.

Napoli win their 2nd straight Europa League match v Legia 4-1 and Raffa Rispo has you covered with all the happenings and who won Beast Of The Match.
With Leicester City and Spartak ending 1-1, Napoli take the lead in Group C:
Napoli 7
Legia 6
Leicester 5
Spartak 4
Napoli can win the group in Matchday 5 with a win vs Spartak on Wed, Nov 24, AND a LCFC-Legia draw on the 25th. The partenopei now go back to the Maradona for a showdown for redemption with a red hot Giovanni Simeone and Hellas Verona, before the final international break of 2021.
We realized while posting this episode that we never posted the Matchday 3 Post Match Live for the 3-0 win at home v Legia. You can find that episode on Raff N Raff Rant Youtube page. Here is the link to that episode: https://youtu.be/phaVBupv6HI
