Here is a rundown of the opponents Napoli will face in their third Champions League campaign under president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
When Napoli were put into Pot 2 for this Season’s Champions League Draw, many Partenopei fans were reasonably happy that they wouldn’t be put into Pot 3 or Pot 4 and be guaranteed a difficult group.
Although, on paper, Napoli fans should be reasonably happy with the Champions League draw. Group B perhaps won’t be as straight forward for the Azzurri as a lot of people think. Portuguese Champions Benfica and Turkish giants Besiktas will guarantee Napoli some difficult games and Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev will also present Napoli with a tricky tie in a surely hostile atmosphere in Kiev.
For one, Napoli will have to take into account the distance of travel that all 3 away games will intake for the Partenopei, with a total of 11 and a half Hours travel time to the 3 away games and in some of Europe’s most hostile stadiums. Napoli will certainly take comfort from knowing the scalps that they have taken at the Stadio San Paolo in Europe’s premier competition. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are among the high profile scalps given at the fearful Stadio San Paolo.
