Napoli president targets Champions League success despite squad challenges

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has expressed high ambitions for the club’s upcoming Champions League campaign, viewing it as a “very delicate mission.” The team is set to face Arsenal at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to begin their European journey.

Despite the club's goals, several challenges face the squad. Key players Alessandro Buongiorno and Scott McTominay are sidelined due to injury and medical procedures, respectively. De Laurentiis is looking to the experience of manager Massimiliano Allegri to navigate the competition, noting Allegri’s history of reaching Champions League finals with Juventus.
