Looking at little bit like the City of old in the CL here. Destroyed them for most of the first half but hanging on a bit now.

We should be out of sight..
Just they got back in on merit.
We doing a good game managing but here now.
It's going to be a great win when all said and done.
Phew.. Safe hands at the end ederson.

Come on ref.

Yup, if Bravo had been in goal for that we would've lost 5-2.

We deserved the win for sure, but if that match was 10 minutes longer Napoli would have scored.

They now must win the next match against us if they want to keep any hope of progressing. It'll be a tough one.

Classic game of two halves. Could easily have been 4-0 at one point had those two crossed the line.

The second half we showed our usual CL nerves. Credit to Napoli for a second half improvement but we were guilty of not playing our way and conceding possession far too easily in that second 45.

I wholeheartedly agree with SEC, Sane had a very poor game by his standards and should have been hooked for Bernardo at half time or soon after. I also thought Silva wasn't up to his usual best and should have been hooked for Gundogan earlier.

Good win against a good side, though and a big step towards qualification from the group. Happy days :)

I agree about el mago and sane. Both had average games.
MuEN gave sane man of the match and a 8..
What the fuck are they watching..
Return leg will be tough for sure. But they will be open to the counter big-time in first half..
Would love to see bernardo get some more time too.
