Head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro has backed Napoli to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season ahead of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Peseiro believes Napoli have a good chance of winning the Champions League this campaign because the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are beatable.
According to him, Napoli can focus on the Champions League as they are in pole position to be crowned Serie A champions this season.
Napoli are well placed to advance to the quarter-final of the Champions League after beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the first leg in the last-16 clash in Germany last month.
On Wednesday night, Napoli will host Frankfurt in the Champions League round of 16 second-leg tie at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
“I think that Napoli, as well as being able to win the championship, can also aim to win the Champions League,” Peseiro said to Sportitalia.
“This is because, at the moment, I don’t see a team clearly superior to the others. Of course, there are teams full of champions like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who obviously aim for victory, but I don’t see them as unbeatable this year.
