Napoli 2-1 AC Milan: 5 Talking Points

#4 Napoli's high pressing earning the plaudits

Napoli's forwards were at it from the word go

Pep Guardiola commented on Napoli after their UEFA Champions League meeting with Manchester City by admitting that they were one of the best teams he has faced this season.

The Ciucciarelli lived up to the statement by stamping their authority in the game through high pressing up the pitch and some silky movement paving the way for free-flowing football in the first half.

The trio of Insigne, Mertens and Jose Callejon worked tirelessly in the final third and forced Milan to the back foot on various occasions and took advantage of the first time they tried to play a high-line when Insigne slipped behind the defenders to slot home the opener.

Despite the absence of any world-class name in their forward line, Napoli are earning the plaudits through their determination and impressive work rate in the opponent's half.
