Last season, Romelu Lukaku was the main attacking force behind SSC Napoli’s Scudetto charge, but this season has brought very little good for both him and the club. The Italian champions have practically surrendered their Serie A title, disappointed in the Champions League, were eliminated from the Coppa Italia, and even winning the Supercoppa cannot mask an overall poor campaign.
