NAPOLI extended their lead at the top of Serie A in a Valentine’s Day-themed kit that has left fans very divided.
Luciano Spalletti’s side demolished Cremonese 3-0 thanks to goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen and Eljif Elmas.
But it was the kit rather than the team now being 16 points clear in the race for the Scudetto that has got everyone talking.
Despite playing at home, Napoli didn’t wear their famous blue strip, instead opting for a white shirt with red trim.
And most eye catching of all, the top had huge lips planted on the bottom to represent a kiss.
It left some supporters falling in love with the design, one said: “Napoli’s kits are so fire.”
