Manchester City will 'suffer like never before' in Champions League trip to Napoli, warns manager Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has warned his players that they will ‘suffer like never before’ when Manchester City meet Napoli in the Stadio San Paolo on Wednesday night.

City are guaranteed a hot reception in arguably the most hostile stadium in Italy, and Guardiola expects his team to be given a severe examination by the Serie A leaders.

City prevailed 2-1 when they met at the Etihad but Napoli are unbeaten at home in all competitions since March, and pose a real threat to Guardiola’s 100 per cent record in Group F.
