For those involved in European competitions, the matches are starting to come thick and fast in Serie A. And perhaps for some, it's starting to take its toll.
Napoli were the only Italian outfit to win in the Champions League last week, as AC Milan, Inter and Lazio all looked rather weary, scoring just two goals between them.
Despite picking up their first European win of the season, the defending champions then played out a drab 0-0 stalemate with Bologna at the weekend, knowing another round of Serie A fixtures was only just over the horizon.
