Roberto Gotta in Italy

The scene had been set almost perfectly, which is not something you can ordinarily say about Italian football. This was a big Monday night match - itself, a break from tradition - at the most imposing ground in the country, which was a full house for the first time in weeks, sparing us the depressingly familiar sight of sparsely populated stands. And the top two sides in the country, Milan and Napoli, although Inter had sneaked into second place 24 hours earlier by virtue of their win at Sampdoria.
