While tonight Napoli just needed one point to qualify out of the group stage of the Champions League, the partenopei were able to win 2-1 against Benfica. In the post match interview Maurizio Sarri was visibly satisfied:"We felt like deserved this result, we came to play on a difficult pitch with the objective of qualifying in first place. Mentally this can be a turning point for our season, but the enthusiam can't turn into euphoria. We have great football in our mentality, but we aren't yet an adult team. Napoli had never finished first in the group stage of the Champions League and it's nice to link this group to a result like that. Now we'll see what the draw has in store for us, I don't care who will face, finishing first or second doesn't change much. In any event we'll face a strong team and it will be a great experience. My players can have the audacity to think they can pass the next round"
