Beating Juventus a step too far for Napoli - Ancelotti

The former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss does not feel his current squad are at the level where they can properly compete with the Serie A leaders

Napoli may have been one of Juventus' main rivals for the Serie A title in recent seasons but Carlo Ancelotti says overtaking the Bianconeri is still a step too far for the Partenopei.

Napoli finished in the top-three under Maurizio Sarri in each of the past three campaigns, ending as runners-up to Juve on two occasions.

Ancelotti replaced Chelsea-bound Sarri ahead of the 2018-19 season and has maintained their position as Juve's nearest competitors, however they still trail the league leaders by eight points after 17 matches.
