“Great performance from the team, particularly given the absences of Osimhen and Anguissa. They played the best football I have seen in Serie A this season. Mertens has such brilliant technique he could probably play at the top for at least another 5 years. I hope he stays at Napoli for the rest of his career,” said a fan on YouTube.
The match was held in November 2021 and reminded crypto investors that the market has indeed come a long way. At press time, Floki Inu was trading at $0.00004094 and is down -2.8% in the 24-hours day trade.
