Napoli need one result, one clean performance to cement their place in next season’s [UEFA Champions League](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/). Standing in their way is a relegated, demotivated, and discipline-ravaged Pisa side who haven’t beaten Napoli since **January 1986**. On paper it sounds straightforward — but Antonio Conte knows better than anyone that football doesn’t care about paper.
