SSC Napoli vs Newcastle United Tickets

Despite the little history between them, the upcoming clash between SSC Napoli and Newcastle United promises to be a captivating encounter.

SSC Napoli is a club steeped in rich football heritage. Although they’re yet to clinch a coveted UEFA Champions League title, Napoli made waves in the 2022/23 campaign by reaching the quarter-finals, while simultaneously securing their first Serie A championship in over three decades.

Renowned for their fervent fanbase, Napoli's presence in European competitions has been consistent. Many fans will remember their UEFA Cup (now UEFA Europa League) victory in 1989, orchestrated by the iconic Diego Maradona. The San Paolo stadium was renamed the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in honour of the legendary forward following his passing in 2020.

Newcastle United are a club undergoing transformation following the substantial investment from their newly arrived Saudi owners. Their triumphant return to the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2023/24 season, following a commendable 4th-place finish in the previous Premier League campaign, marked a significant milestone. Like Napoli, the Magpies are renowned for their passionate fanbase. Yet, their pursuit of a major trophy has now extended for over seven decades. Their last significant triumph occurred in 1955 when they bested Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Newcastle's European accomplishments include victories in the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and the Intertoto Cup in 2006. The club has faced modern-era challenges, notably enduring two relegations to the Championship during the ownership tenure of Mike Ashley.

On the management side, Spanish tactician Rafa Benitez has left his mark at both Newcastle and Napoli. He was loved by Geordies during his tenure at Newcastle, but he was driven to leave due to disagreements with the unpopular former owner, Mike Ashley.

On the playing side, Argentine international Federico Fernández has proudly donned the jerseys of both clubs. The accomplished centre-back spent three years at Napoli after departing from Estudiantes in his homeland. Subsequently, Fernández embarked on a journey that led him to Swansea City in 2014, and later, he reunited with his former Napoli mentor, Rafa Benitez, at Newcastle, solidifying his connection between these two storied clubs.
