The Spanish side host the Partenopei in the second-leg of their European encounter, with the scoreline delicately poised at 1-1.
And the midfielder has insisted that Los Leones will go all-out to try and make the group stages.
“We will fight right to the death,” he told reporters.
“I think Napoli are obliged to come out and play because of our away goal – but I imagine it will be much like the first leg.
“Their game is based on the counter-attack, so we’ll have to be wary of that. However, the way we play won’t change.
“Napoli have some great players, but we are sure we can do it.”
