A week later, Napoli confirmed their dominance with a 4-2 win in Naples. Goals from Hirving Lozano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia, and Victor Osimhen secured Napoli’s spot in the knockout stages with two games to spare. Historical Background

The story of Napoli vs. Ajax is defined by a historic 2022-23 Champions League group stage encounter, where Napoli effectively signaled their arrival as a European powerhouse by dismantling the Dutch giants home and away.

Before October 2022, the two clubs hadn't met in a competitive match since 1970. When they finally did in Group A, Napoli produced a "total football" lesson that stunned the football world.

While their modern meetings are most famous, the clubs first crossed paths in the round of 16: First Leg: Napoli won 1-0 at home.
