In February, the Champions League quarter-final stage will begin, but among the strongest clubs of the Old Continent, Napoli's team will not be there. At the end of last year, Italians bitterly missed out on advancing in the group stage to the Shakhtar Donetsk club and will now have to compete in the Europa League tournament. According to Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, the team did not lose motivation and will have only one goal. "Of course, at that time the players were disappointed. Everyone wants to play in the Champions League and this is a chance to show off to a wide audience. Of course, we are not planning to relax in the Europa League and our goal is one - to become champions," said the African player. "Can we also fight for the title of Serie A champions? I better not say anything because in the city of Naples, we are all very suspicious and we have to wait and see what the coming months will bring." In the Europa League round of 16, the Italians will face the Leipzig team. The first match between the teams will take place on February 15 in Italy.
