Who would have thought 2012 would produce such a great aray of shocking results. We all know that anyone can beat anyone in football but after Man City`s great title winning game against QPR and Chelsea`s amazing resistance to Bayern Munich in winning the Champions League. Surely Juventus (a team that didn`t lose a single game all season in Serie A) must prevent any more suprises.
I`m sorry to say but Napoli had the whole game, for a team that plays on the counter and loves to take in presure, they were all over Juventus and deserved their win. Napoli last won the Copa back in 1987, and having missed out on a champions league place this year, Napoli`s season was looking to be not what many had in mind.
Beating Man City out of the group stage and getting a good win against Chelsea in Europe was the best they had in them it appeared. Now surely there season has finished on a high and a trophy.

Napoli`s returning form to Serie A after their shocking lose to Chelsea seemed to take alot out of them, and they did struggle for a while, and maybe that`s why they finished the season only 5th. However with a team that is very well rounded and with a massive lift in winning the Copa Italian, maybe Napoli can press on and push for a Champions League place in 2012/13.
