Note: The match was initially scheduled to take place on 4 October 2020, but Napoli abandoned the match sub judice after they did not travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 14 October 2020, Juventus were awarded a 3–0 victory by default and Napoli docked one point as the Disciplinary Commission ruled Napoli did not follow the COVID-19 protocol.[20] However, Napoli appealed the result to the Italian National Olympic Committee, and the verdict was overturned on 22 December 2020, to be replayed.[21] On 3 March 2021, it was announced that the match was to be replayed on 17 March 2021.[22] On 12 March 2021, the match was moved to 7 April 2021.[23]
