Maybe for the latter stages but not winners imo. Someone like Bayern or City would put them out.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
How's Timber playing this CL campaign?
Napoli double this season incoming! CL and league. Nah on a serious note they look really good both in Europe and in the league. There a entertaining team to watch.
To be honest I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if city managed to bottle that tie.
Pep's overthinking tactical genius would somehow feck his side over, again.
If Atletico lose tonight, they are basically out right? and if so they wouldn't drop into Europa either would they?
hope not, dirty wasters. cant stand that club and manager.

I’d say Bayern under Nagelsmann is much more likely than City to mess it up.
They are one of 3 teams tied on 3 points, so a draw in the other game keeps them well in the hunt as they will still get to face the other 2.
Even a result there, they still have a chance
Kvaradona is hilarious
Definitely but their not the favorites City are , this bayern side is getting a bit over rated i think, they've done nothing to even be considered on the same level as City.
Tbf we've brought all of Ajax best players in the last window. This Napoli did rip apart Liverpool(Although I guess that doesn't mean much this season)and are top in Serie A. I would guess City would beat them but they are far more fun to watch.
Penalty for Brugge, fine counter
It never gets boring watching a Napoli game, they're box office football
There is no way that should be a penalty. Madness.
Overturned
No. Never. A dark horse for getting into quarters, maybe. Winning? Heh. We are Italian Spurs/Arsenal, so don't expect any league titles and Europe cups. Coppa Italia and applying "pressure" to big clubs (especially Juve) in the league.
About the football style - it's amazing to see that Spaletti has been able to make this team what it is. Seems like a huge breath of fresh air arrived with Mertens and Insigne leaving. Kvicha and Raspadori have been amazing (waiting for Juve to buy them for Higuain-like fee or a 6-year loan co-ownership deal or sth bizarre) and it's a statement that winning without Osimhen.
About the football itself - Sarri defined that style. That was brutally sexy football back then. That 1st half vs Real Madrid in UCL knockout stage was I think the best football I have ever seen. That time Napoli played the best football in the world. But yeah, luck turned and as we all know, you don't mess with Real in CL. Ancelotti's one was more pragmatic, then Gattuso... yeaah. But he delivered a Coppa so all good.
If we finish in CL spot and keeping Juve from qualifying to Europe, then I'm happy. Because I know we don't win these two main titles (league and Europa cups).
Is Kvaratskhelia the next big star? The guy looks unplayable everytime I see him.
Good to se you have your priorities straight. I'm still mad at you lot for 20/21
FASHION JR?!?!?!?!
Ajax pull a goal back.
We usually tend to struggle more against capable bus parkers, and Napoli doesn't exaclty do that. That's not to take away anything from them. They really look great, and will cause anyone trouble if they can pull off these oerformances in the latter stages.
Bad move
Is "Trent" actually injured or just dropped on account of being cack?
Should be a good opportunity for Carvalho. From his cameos he looked like someone could just explode onto the scene.
I actually am ok with that lineup. Hopefully Konate gets up to speed and I always thought Gomez was pretty good in that position.
Penalty for Napoli?
Edit: yes
Edit: yes
That can’t or a pen come on now
Injured, a few weeks out by reports.
The current handball rule is a total joke. How the feck is that a penalty?
Absolute not a penalty
Ridiculous penalty to give
Yet another pathetic handball ruling.
Those refs are dumb.
3_1 to napoli
I knew he was going to give it but feck all he can do about it from that close.
Yeah, he's out for three weeks same as Matip.
Another total bollocks handball decision. Absolutely twatted at him from point blank range while he's in the process of trying to tuck his arms in.
Just feck off.
Just feck off.
Deano would have saved that penalty
What a ridiculous decision!
