Cameroonian midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is on the verge of winning a second consecutive Serie A title after Napoli surged to the top of the league standings following a vital 2-0 victory over Torino on Sunday.
Napoli, powered by a commanding midfield performance from Anguissa and a decisive brace from Scott McTominay, capitalised on Inter Milan’s misstep to take control of the title race.
The result lifts the defending champions to 74 points, three ahead of Inter with just four matches remaining in the season.
The reigning Scudetto holders now have a realistic shot at retaining their crown, with a relatively favourable schedule ahead compared to their main rivals.
Anguissa, a central figure in Luciano Spalletti’s squad, has been instrumental throughout the campaign and continues to demonstrate the consistency and influence that marked Napoli’s title-winning run last year.
His contributions have been both defensive and offensive, with the Cameroonian international registering six goals and four assists across 31 appearances this season.
His ability to control the tempo, break up opposition attacks, and contribute to build-up play has cemented his status as one of the league’s standout midfielders.
The win over Torino, driven by McTominay’s clinical finishing, highlighted Napoli’s tactical sharpness and collective resilience.
Despite facing pressure from chasing teams throughout the season, the Partenopei have managed to maintain their composure, with Anguissa regularly anchoring the midfield and dictating play.
Inter Milan’s stumble provided Napoli with an opening, and they seized it emphatically. With four matches to go and momentum firmly on their side, the Naples-based club find themselves in pole position to secure back-to-back league titles—a feat not achieved by the club since the days of Diego Maradona.
Anguissa’s form has drawn plaudits from both domestic and international observers, with many noting his growing maturity and leadership on the pitch.
For the 28-year-old, a second Scudetto would not only underscore his impact in Italian football but also strengthen his reputation as one of Africa’s top midfield talents.
Napoli’s remaining fixtures are considered less daunting than Inter’s, further fueling optimism among supporters and analysts alike.
However, the team is well aware that the final stretch of the season offers little margin for error, especially in a league as competitive as Serie A.
Should Napoli hold their nerve and clinch the title, it would mark yet another historic moment for the club and a personal milestone for Zambo Anguissa.
After lifting his first Serie A trophy in 2023, adding a second would affirm his place among the club’s most influential modern players.
With the title race nearing its climax, all eyes will be on Anguissa and Napoli as they attempt to write another chapter in their remarkable journey.
