Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia ready to fire Napoli to new highs in Champions League

Runaway Serie A leaders Napoli turn their attentions to the Champions League this week as they look to reach the quarter-final stage for the first time.

Napoli travel to Germany to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the last-16 first-leg clash at the Deutsche Bank Park on Tuesday.

Luciano Spalletti's side finished top of Group A on goal difference ahead of last season's finalists Liverpool to seal their spot in the knockout stages.

Napoli won five out of their six games only losing their final match at Liverpool when their place in the last-16 was already safely in the bag.

But it is on the domestic front that the club has really shone with Napoli already looking like Italy's champions in mid-February.

What has happened has stunned Italian football and made the rest of the continent sit up and take notice: Serie A might not be the gallery of stars it once was but to be 15 points clear after just 23 matches is an incredible feat.

Napoli have dropped just seven points in Italy's top flight all season and look almost certain to win their first league title in more than three decades.

At the heart of this success has been the irresistible attacking partnership of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen and Georgian wing wizard Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Serie A's leading scorer Osimhen is running at almost a goal a game the league, notching nine in his last eight matches since the turn of the year, taking his tally to 18 in the competition.
