Napoli 2017-2018 Home Shirt - Ghoulam N°31 (XL)

No flaws to report. The azzurro blue is bright, the dark blue side and hem panels are intact, and the Lete, Garofalo and Kimbo sponsors are complete, with no cracking. The N crest and the Kappa logos are sharp. The GHOULAM 31 lettering lies perfectly flat.

Despite the XXXL label, this shirt measures 57 x 78 cm: it wears like an XL. Compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

What you need to know about this piece

The label says XXXL, but Kappa's Kombat cut is very slim: at 57 cm pit to pit, this shirt matches a standard XL. Trust the measurements rather than the label.

Ghoulam and Sarriball

In 2017-2018, Maurizio Sarri's Napoli played some of the most admired football in Europe and finished Serie A with 91 points, a club record.

22 April 2018, Turin. A last-minute Kalidou Koulibaly header beat Juventus 1-0 away and reopened the title race.

Faouzi Ghoulam, the flying full-back. First choice on the left, he suffered a serious knee injury on 1 November 2017 against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Juventus eventually kept their title with 95 points; Napoli, second, left the memory of an unforgettable team.
