SSC Napoli Champions League Tickets

Starting in the early 2010s, SSC Napoli have emerged as a regular in European football, particularly in the Champions League. Although they've never won this tournament, Gli Azzurri have regularly featured in the knockout stages of UEFA's premier club competition in recent years.

Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was named after Napoli's greatest ever player, and this stadium can hold an estimated 55,000 spectators for home matches.

Even since his passing in 2020, Diego Maradona remains an integral part of the history of this great club. Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne, Marek Hamšík, and Gonzalo Higuain are just a few others of the many well-regarded players who have worn the blue shirt of Napoli.

Napoli are, unquestionably, one of the best European teams to have never won the Champions League nor its precursor, the European Cup. The furthest the Italian outfit has progressed in this tournament is the quarter-final stage, during the 2022/23 tournament.

Gli Azzurri have also reached the Round of 16 on multiple occasions. The team from Naples exited at this stage in 2011/12, following defeat to eventual champions Chelsea. A similar pattern occurred in 2016/17, as Real Madrid got the better of Napoli on their way to retaining the prestigious crown.

The Naples-based outfit advanced to the last-16 again in 2019/20, and once more in 2023/24, before facing FC Barcelona on each occasion.

Napoli haven't come close to winning the Champions League, though that's not to say there haven't been plenty of memorable moments for their supporters to savour.

After qualifying for their first Champions League in more than 20 years, Napoli were drawn into the 'group of death' alongside Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Villarreal in the 2011/12 season. With stars such as Edinson Cavani and Marek Hamšík nearing their prime years, Napoli produced some excellent football and managed to advance to the knockout stages where they were defeated by eventual winners Chelsea.

Napoli's furthest progression in the Champions League came in the 2022/23 campaign. Gli Azzurri looked destined to go far after beating Eintracht Frankfurt, 5-0 on aggregate, in their last-16 clash. They had previously won five of their six group games, including an impressive 4-1 demolition of Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool. However, Napoli ultimately faltered in the quarter-finals, losing 2-1 over two legs against Serie A rivals AC Milan.
