Napoli - — Ajax

The story of Napoli vs. Ajax is defined by a historic 2022-23 Champions League group stage encounter, where Napoli effectively signaled their arrival as a European powerhouse by dismantling the Dutch giants home and away.

While their modern meetings are most famous, the clubs first crossed paths in the round of 16: First Leg: Napoli won 1-0 at home.

Before October 2022, the two clubs hadn't met in a competitive match since 1970. When they finally did in Group A, Napoli produced a "total football" lesson that stunned the football world.
