Champions League matches are always different different tempo, different desire. Napoli has an excellent team and relatively not-so-difficult opponents, but still, this is the UCL and every opponent knows how to play great football. If Lukaku recovers, that would contribute a lot to the team since they are currently without a classic striker. However, the midfield with KDB is more than excellent.

UEFA Champions League always have surprises with we never know which team is having good performance and which is going to let down punters which are backing them with their funds Napoli is having good squad which have good start of their title defend.

Antonio Conte is also well aware about challenges which are he going to face in coming matches I am expecting they will be in top ranks because they are having enough quality to stay in good against any opponent Manchester City is currently not good which will be beneficial for the at Etihad Stadium both can go with their best for having early advantage, but I am expecting Napoli can pass this challenge.

Yeah, champions league is a different kind of tournament entirely and it comes with different desire and tempo. I still don’t rate Napoli much in the champions league. We all know Antonio Conte as a man who know how to play is football in the league than in tournaments. Conte tactical approach works well well in the league that why every club he has coached he has won the league expect for Tottenham. In term of knock out tournament he doesn’t always do well, even in league cups.

I like Conte so much, he always knows how to bring out the best in players in a very short period of time, we can see he also did that with Napoli last season. In this season champions league I don’t think they will go pass the quarter finals. Yeah, Napoli have good player and have made some good signing too but can this players bring them the champions league glory? I don’t think so.
