Napoli improved by three positions following the arrival of Diego Maradona at the club.

The new #10 had been bought from FC Barcelona on a World record transfer fee, and he fulfilled expectations with 14 goals in his debut season, making him the third best scorer in the entire league.

The previous season had almost resulted in relegation, so Maradona's arrival certainly boosted the team well before its two scudetti.
