Despite five wins in December, one can not be satisfied in Naples about the closing of the year. These victories were mainly booked against teams from the right-hand row, while the two games in question were lost. First there was the elimination in the Champions League after an 1-0 loss against Liverpool. Arek Milik has been in the final weeks but could not finish his main chance, he had the equalizer on the slipper in the end of the game and was able to repay his purchase price in one fell swoop but did not make it difficult for the goalkeeper Alisson. Later in the month was also lost with 1-0 of competitor Inter, so the Milanese come closer and especially Juventus continues.

However, Lazio got a free passage to the next round of the cup, it was already finished after twenty minutes with third division Novara. After twelve minutes, Luis Alberto scored on an order from Immobile, who took the next two hits for his own account. In the injury time of the first half, Milinkovic-Savic made it 4-0 and the Romans were able to play the game at ease.
