Dazzling duo Victor Osimhen and KhvichaKvaratskhelia have Napoli dreaming after starring in a five-goal massacre of Juventus which made them clear favourites to claim a first Serie A title in over three decades.
Luciano Spalletti's team have bewitched much of Europe with their all-action football this season and the way his two star attackers combined to destroy Juve on Friday night and secure a nine-point lead on champions AC Milan suggests that this time southern Italy's biggest club are the real deal.
Osimhen took his league tally to 12 with a brace, while Kvaratskhelia netted his ninth of the season in all competitions and had a hand in all the others as Juve and their eight-match winning streak were blown away in Naples.
The pair set up each other's goals with the crowning moment Kvaratskhelia's inch-perfect cross which allowed Osimhen to head in Napoli's fourth midway through the second half at a packed, and delirious Stadio Maradona.
On Sunday daily La Repubblica crowned them "the goal twins", the same nickname given to Roberto Mancini and recently deceased Gianluca Vialli who shot Sampdoria to their one and only league title in 1991.
Napoli last won the Scudetto the previous season, at the tail end of Diego Maradona's reign in Naples before he was chased out of Italy in disgrace.
Kvaratskhelia is the closest Napoli have come to replicating the Maradona magic, his seven league goals matched with as many assists and an air of attacking menace which has taken his team to another level.
"He's an extraordinary player, the best of the lot, the most complete," said Spalletti on Friday.
"In some situations he's simply devastating and he's got the courage to try things out."
Meanwhile the astonishing form of Nigeria striker Osimhen has made him look like the club's best centre-forward since Edinson Cavani.
