The Italians need to win their own game and hope the Blues beat Shakhtar Donetsk if they are to reach the last 16, but that is their own problem
Napoli fans will be rooting for Manchester City just as much as their own side when Champions League Group F comes to a close on Wednesday evening, but if results do not go their way they will ultimately have no right to blame Pep Guardiola or his players for what would be their own failings.
Guardiola did thrill Napoli on Monday when it emerged that a strong City squad had travelled to Ukraine to face Shakhtar Donetsk for what is, to the English club, a dead rubber, but there is every chance that the first teamers who did make the trip will not see much action.
