He also won 6 out of 6 at the start of last season, too. Then things changed.
You know nothing about the Premier League. :)
Well said
P.S. Also, both City goals were as a result of Napoli's clear mistakes, especially the second, which R. Albiol should've cleaned it without an effort, but he didn't, and Jesus just pushed into the goal!
That's it! Napoli only have themselves to blame, for not being efficient enough. And to make things worse, Shaktar are doing great!

That's it! Napoli only have themselves to blame, for not being efficient enough. And to make things worse, Shaktar are doing great, and with this win, showed how serious they are!
Best not to stress the situation.
When Aguero walks back into the squad they will be a force of nature!
Also, everyone who's following Napoli and knows football for real, knew that Hysaj is the weak link in Napoli's system - knowing that he won't be able to handle a strong left winger, like Sanne is, which proved on the pitch this match! Albiol also made a few crucial mistakes 1st half, one of them resulting with the 2nd goal, and as the icing on the nightmare, Mertens showed us that he's not up for the highest level - MUSTN'T MISS THAT PENALTY - It was a game changer!
The final result is real.
City have to thank him for this win - and as everything abovesaid, it's not only 'cause of the saved penalty! City definitely have one of the 5 best keepers in the world!
Luckily for us, we'll all have the pleasure of watching them playing each other again, only in a week or two!
A holiday for every true football aficionado!
In any case great game overall. Think Napoli kinda deserved to get away with a draw in the end though but both these teams should be able to make it to the next round anyway (though Napoli has to make up for their loss to Shaktar in their return leg against them)
