✅ Stats before the game: Napoli have won their last two meetings with German sides in all European competitions, as many victories as in the previous 12 such ties (D3, L7). The success in the first leg was also the first ever against Eintracht Frankfurt (two defeats previously). Eintracht Frankfurt’s only previous away match against Napoli ended in a 1-0 win, in December 1994, in the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup. Eintracht Frankfurt have scored in all of their three Champions League away games so far (five goals), winning two and losing one. Napoli have scored 22 goals in this Champions League: the last season in which an Italian team scored more goals (excluding goals in table victories, with reference to Milan 2004-05) was 2002-03, with the Juventus who scored 30 goals and Inter 26. Napoli are unbeaten in 11 Champions League home games (W8 D3), winning all three this season.
✍️ We're rewriting history… and the dream continues!
