Ryanair teases Napoli over the international break and a fan bites back
The supporter's reply drew more likes than the airline's post. The joke still stings, though, because the league table backs it up.
"Good news for Napoli fans: there's no game this week." Ryanair's Italian account on X posted that on Tuesday 10 November, during the international break. Within hours it had spread across the web.
A Napoli supporter replied straight away, and the reply drew even more likes: "Good news for Neapolitan passengers: Capodichino is closed and they don't have to board a Ryanair flight."

The comeback is based on a real fact. Capodichino, the city's airport, is closed to commercial traffic for all of November while the runway and taxiways are rebuilt. Several routes have moved to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi, including Ryanair's service to Bergamo.
It was a good reply, but it does not change the point. Ryanair could make the joke because Napoli are tenth with 15 points after 11 games and have gone three matches without a win. The last image from the Maradona is the fans' protest after the 1-1 draw with Lazio. A sharp reply won't stop the jokes on social media. Results on the pitch will, starting with Napoli-Torino on Saturday 21 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET).
