After a 2-0 win in Germany, the Scudetto favorites start the second leg of the last 16 in the driving seat, but the visitors can draw on last year’s Europa League heroics for inspiration.
Napoli’s two-goal win in Frankfurt was not only their first victory against Eintracht, after two previous defeats, but also put them on the verge of reaching the last eight of the Champions League for the first time.
Goals either side of the break from star striker Osimhen and captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo secured the Partenopei a significant advantage against opposition reduced to 10 men when Randal Kolo Muani was sent off in the 58th minute.
Having now scored 22 goals in the competition this season, Napoli return home unbeaten in their last 11 Champions League home matches, winning all three this season and scoring at least three goals each time.
