Eliminated from the Champions League, Koulibaly Focus to the Europa League

DBasia.news – Napoli got eliminated dramatically from the Champions League group after the 0-1 defeat against Liverpool. Napoli just stay in the third position of Group C.

The result makes Il Partenopei would play in the 32-stage of Europa League. Kalidou Koulibaly hopes they could go further in the Europa League.

“We were so close. When the group stages started, many people saw us already out of the Champions League. We will have to give everything in the Europa League to go as far as possible, and even try to win it,” Koulibaly said.

Napoli failed to continue the achievement last season, qualifying for the knockout round. The failure repeats the bad period of the Naples team. In five recent seasons, they failed to qualify for the knockout round of Champions League three times and must be degraded to the 23-stage of Europa League.

They bring the previous experience. Koulibaly believes they could win the Europa League title and bring it to San Paolo.

“But we have time to think about it, now we must think about tonight. We will try and win it,” he added.

The failure makes Napoli could focus in chasing Juventus who are alone in the Serie A. They are 8 points behind The Old Lady.
