The round of 16 of the Champions League continues tonight (Tuesday) with the intriguing meeting between the holder of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Napoli, the leader of the Italian league and one of the most impressive teams on the continent this season.
The host from Germany is trying to surprise Luciano Spalletti's players, with Daichi Kamada and Jibril Suo starting in Frankfurt's midfield.
Mario Gotze stepped up along with Jasper Lindström under the great Randall Kolo-Moani who was placed at the tip of Oliver Glasner.
On the other hand, the guest from Italy wants to continue the predatory behavior from the Italian league in the Champions League as well, after finishing the group stage in first place with huge displays, especially against Liverpool.
Spalletti enjoyed an almost full squad, and Hirving Lozano, Victor Osiman and Havicha Cabezdalia continued the attack of the Blues.
Not going to stop.
