But Luciano Spalletti’s team doesn’t seem set on just dominating Italian football; Napoli is also turning up the heat on Europe’s elite. On Wednesday, Napoli comfortably beat Eintracht Frankfurt – last year’s Europa League winners – 3-0 in the Champions League, thanks to goals from two of its stalwarts, a brace from Victor Osimhen and a penalty from Piotr Zieliński.
