“They are both good sides, but in my view Napoli are a stronger team than Shakhtar Donetsk,” said van Beek in his Press conference.

“They are both good sides, but in my view Napoli are a stronger team than Shakhtar Donetsk,” said van Beek in his Press conference.

“Tomorrow we want to pick up points and will do everything we can to get a result. Obviously, the level is very high in the Champions League, but it’s a question of honour in our last home game.”

Napoli will be without one of their best players, Italy international Lorenzo Insigne.

“He is very talented, but I have to think of who will be there tomorrow and therefore I won’t comment on Insigne. It’s always good to face Napoli, as they force us to raise our game too.”
