Napoli defeated Lazio 2-0 away with first-half goals from Spinazzola and Rrahmani. The match was marked by significant disciplinary issues, including three red cards: Lazio's Tijjani Noslin was sent off for a second yellow, and late confrontations led to double red cards for Lazio's Adam Marusic and Napoli's Pasquale Mazzocchi; Antonio Conte intervened during the incident.

David Neres was forced to limp off in the second half, adding to Napoli's injury concerns alongside key players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Billy Gilmour.

Following this win, Napoli moved to within one point of Serie A leaders Milan, who themselves secured a 1-0 victory at Cagliari. Inter currently sit third but have the opportunity to reclaim top spot with an upcoming match against Bologna.

In La Liga action, Sevilla suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Levante. Real Madrid are aiming for a win against Real Betis, while Barcelona maintain the lead after a 2-0 victory over Espanyol. Atlético Madrid are set to visit Real Sociedad.

In Ligue 1, the much-anticipated Paris derby between Paris FC and Paris Saint-Germain took place, marking the first top-flight Paris derby in 36 years. Paris FC rejoined Ligue 1 in 2025 and now play at the Stade Jean-Bouin.
