Match Facts

  • The only previous meetings between Napoli and Chelsea came in the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League, with the Blues eliminating the Italian side in the Round of 16 in that edition (5-4 on aggregate – lost 3-1 away before winning 4-1 at home in the second leg).

  • Chelsea have only won one of their last nine UEFA Champions League away games against Italian sides (D1 L7) – a 2-0 victory at Milan in October 2022 – while losing six of the last seven. The most recent of those came this season, losing at Atalanta on MD6, despite having taken the lead (2-1 defeat).

  • Napoli manager Antonio Conte has only won one of his five games against former club Chelsea since leaving his post there (D1 L3), although that one victory did come in his most recent game against them (2-0 win in February 2023 in the Premier League, in charge of Tottenham).

  • Napoli have lost just one of their last 20 home UEFA Champions League matches (W12 D7), a 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in October 2023. Overall they’ve lost just 12% of their home games (4/33), the third lowest ratio of any team to play 20+ home games in the competition since 1992-93.

  • Chelsea have scored in each of their last 20 games in major European competitions; their longest ever run. The last side to keep a clean sheet against them was Real Madrid in April 2023, in a 2-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League.

  • Napoli have won just one of their last 10 UEFA Champions League matches against sides from one of Europe’s big-five leagues (D4 L5), a 1-0 away win at 1. FC Union Berlin in October 2023.

  • In what was Liam Rosenior’s first European game in charge, Chelsea completed 94.5% of their passes on MD7 v Pafos; the highest completion rate by a team in the UEFA Champions League this season. The Blues’ pass completion rate under Antonio Conte in the UEFA Champions League was 84.2 percent.

  • Napoli’s Scott McTominay has scored four goals in his last five UEFA Champions League appearances. The last Scotsman to score five goals in a single European Cup season was Mo Johnston in 1990-91 for Rangers, and last for a non-Scottish club was John Wark for Liverpool in 1984-85.

  • Moisés Caicedo has made more line-breaking passes (49) than any other Chelsea player in the UEFA Champions League, as well as having the highest pass completion rate under high-intensity pressure of any Blues player with at least 90 minutes played (90.1%).

  • All six goals scored by Napoli players in this season’s UEFA Champions League have been netted by former Man Utd duo Rasmus Højlund (2) and Scott McTominay (4). Højlund never scored against Chelsea in four appearances, but McTominay scored a brace in a 2-1 Man Utd win in his last start against the Blues in December 2023.
