Champions, Napoli conquers Lisbon and flies to the round of XNUMX

Napoli is making a big comeback. After Friday's convincing performance in the league against Inter, the Azzurri also passed the delicate test in the Champions League, winning away in Lisbon against Benfica (final 1-2) a decisive match for qualifying for the Champions League round of XNUMX. Sarri's men do not tremble and thus qualify as first in the standings in their group, even if the evening started immediately thanks to the resounding victory of Dynamo Kiev, who won 4-0 at home against Besiktas already in the first half (6-0 in the final): with the news arriving from Ukraine, Napoli could have even afforded to lose (but at that point they would have finished as runners-up) .

The winning goals come in the second half and are signed by Callejon and Mertens, after that for almost the entire match Napoli held the reins of the game, building up several chances and risking little, only to then pull the oars a little once the qualification was virtually acquired. Now among the possible opponents in the round of 12 there are the runners-up or, for example and at the moment, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and certainly one between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. The draw is Monday 12 December at XNUMX.
