Perhaps the most exciting team on the continent at this moment in time registered another captivating performance, with lead marksman Victor Osimhen single-handedly boosting Napoli’s Champions League odds to 7/1 by the close of play.
18 points clear in Serie A. Highest scorers in this year’s Champions League. Keen observers of this rampant Napoli side are running out of superlatives to describe them as their stunning renaissance continues to thrive, reaching the quarter-finals of this competition for the first time in the club’s history.
Last year’s Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt were put to the sword by the Italian side, who fired in five goals across the two legs and allowed their opponents just two shots on target throughout the tie.

Not only are they fluid in transition, terrifying on the counter and ruthless at the final hurdle, they also possess the defensive know-how to frustrate teams. Across 32 games in Europe and Serie A, Luciano Spalletti’s organisational imprint is evidenced by their stout defensive record, conceding just 22 goals in the process.
Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a whole host of Premier League sides after expressing his desire to make the switch one day, once again proved his worth with a brace, including a nigh-impossible looping header on the stroke of half-time.
It remains an intriguing prospect as to who will be up next for Napoli in the Champions League, but after domineering performances against the likes of Liverpool, Rangers and Ajax prior to this latest triumph, the rest of Europe will be quaking in their boots at the thought of being drawn against them.
