After Juve's poker, that of Napoli. Sarri's men liquidate Benfica 4-2 and confirm themselves as one of the teams in the best shape at the moment in Italy and beyond: the Azzurri had never scored 4 goals in a single Champions Cup or Champions League match, and with 6 goals scored in two matches (plus the 14 in 6 matches in the league, the best tally in Serie A together with Roma) are confirmed as a lethal attack despite being orphaned by Gonzalo Higuain, who was sold to Juventus this summer.
Napoli even went ahead 4-0 with goals from Hamsik, Mertens, Milik from a penalty and Mertens again, thanks to a duck from Julio Cesar, Benfica goalkeeper and former Inter number one in the treble. Now the Neapolitan club is firmly leading its Champions League group, with 6 points in two games against 2 from Besiktas (who will be the next opponent at San Paolo), and 1 point each for Benfica and Dinamo Kiev, both already defeated by blue.
