Napoli (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Big mals fedora]

No complaints. Game changed on the red, but we were patient and got the goals. Phil was excellent and Doku has magic in his feet. Khusanov is amazing

Don’t think the game changed with the red. We were all over them b4 the red. We were excellent tonight. The press is coming back nicely.

23 shots to 1 v the Italian champions who have a 100% record this season and not lost a league game in 2025 and Lucy Ward “ wasnt a classic”

We have started to swarm the opposition again when out of possession- Great to see.

Playing against 10 men does help but yes I agree. :D

 

[Jwoody19]

Khusanov and Oreilly have really balanced the side. Foden looked sharp. Doku looks transformed. Hope we can carry this form into Sunday. 2 impressive wins

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Solid enough.

We’re still well short of where we once were but with Rodri back, Foden looking like he’s heading in the right direction and the big man up front, we have enough quality in the team to at least give us a chance against anyone.

 

[colorado blue]

Very professional job especially last 20 controlling the ball and running down the clock. I was happy to see Kev taken off before he had chance to influence anything.

Thought we played well and kept at it when it was becoming difficult. 2 great goals.

Hard against 10 men and a low block. Napoli are hard to break down.

Monaco hammered at Brugge too so hopefully a bit of an easier one next up.

Love this keeper. Just gives the back line loads of confidence.

 

[Stoned Rose]

10 men aside that’s the best we’ve played since the season before last.

Very good performances all over the pitch.

Outstanding from Foden and Doku. Foden looks like he’s back. Doku’s goal world class for me.

Lovely to see the young lads O’Reilly and Khusanov both showing they can cut the mustard at this level.

Very good.

Let’s see what Sunday is saying.

Liking this new defense setup. Khuso in as a rb which we have all been saying since January I feel like. Seems to all be clicking at the moment. As we get more match fit I imagine and hope we get even better

 

[SamTheGuru]

Very professional, about as good as it could have gone considering the big game at the weekend too.

Doku and Foden looking very sharp.

Doku fell over about 4 times in the first half but he is having an end product so far this season which is the big difference.

I don't think it really changed, we were bossing it prior to the red.

Erling now with 14 goals in 7 games for club and country.

Tap in merchant.

More reminiscent of the golden era than any other game so far in 2025. Classy.

I know they went down to 10 early-ish, but you can only beat what's in front of you.

 

[Mentis]

Only 9th place? Pep out

Well played City. Sounded like a professional performance on the radio. I'm looking forward to the highlights on bbc2 at 11pm.

 

[axlgod]

Dr. Doku.

Luckiest player on earth

 

[normskih]

Much better again obviously playing against 10 men helped but we kept it simply sharp and scored two wonderful goals

It’s just as hard playing against 10 as it is playing against 11. Real Madrid went down to 10 against Marseille but still won. You have to adapt and make them work, which we did. I’d have snatch anyone’s hand off before the start if they said 2-0 win to City. Pleasantly pleased with the performance and the score. COYB
