I beg to differ - Napoli are 13 points behind current league leaders Milan, no way they're gouing to leapfrog 5 teams to finish first. Please note that they have been resting at least one of their striking trio before the CL games, contributing to their 10 draws, joint highest number of draws with Juve, Cagliari and Atalanta.
The best they can do is try for 4th CL spot which can give them hope of keeping Cavani - Hamsik signed an extension to 2016 but Lavezzi is definitely leaving (wish he could come to Man Utd) and Cavani has been slapped with a $40M price tag, only affordable by Roman or the sheikh, more likely the later.
Anyway, back to the game, Napoli could have easily won 6-0 had Cannavaro not made the clearance blunder allowing Mata to finish, had Cavani scored his sitter in the first half and Lavezzi scored 2 chances later, one cleared off the line by Cole. I am sure as the sun sets and rises that Napoli will score at least a goal at the Bridge, making it hard for the Blues. Napoli through to the quarters for me.
Real could have had a CR7 hattrick in a -15 degrees Luzhni stadium but CSKA forced a draw with the last kick of the game. Again, Real should see off the match at the Bernabeu.
So today Basel face Bayern - how I wish we had gone through. Bayern have slipped in performance and we'd have had a better chance now than when the tournament begun when Bayern were in CL final contender form - now, Barca and Real are the clear favourites.Oh well, Ajax in Europa it is
