He has officiated two Manchester City games: a 3-1 win away to Dinamo Kiev in February 2016 and 5-3 home victory over Monaco in February 2017.

His only Napoli match was a 4-1 away success at Wolfsburg in the Europa League quarter-final in April 2015.

Pep Guardiola’s men have a 100 per cent record going in, having beaten Feyenoord 4-0 in Holland and Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 at home.

The Partenopei went through the preliminary round, sweeping Nice aside 4-0 on aggregate, before a 2-1 loss at Shakhtar Donetsk and 3-1 victory over Feyenoord.

These sides have met only twice before, in the 2011-12 group stage of the Champions League, where Napoli won 2-1 at the San Paolo and earned a 1-1 away draw.

Both teams are currently top of their domestic leagues and still unbeaten.
