Well, what a game that was. The early running was all Napoli, as you might have expected. Manchester City showed their class though, coming from behind, to secure the win. Through to the knockout stage with two games to go, Pep’s side looked impressive.

Going a goal down was a real test for the Blues. Coming through with flying colors, eventually it was a comfortable night. To be fair though, Napoli were fantastic to watch, certainly a favorite to win the Europa League, with their Champions League hopes all but done.

So what can we take away from Pep Guardiola’s Italian Job?
