After that campaign, the Sky Blues made it to the group stage in 2016/17 but performed poorly, earning only four points and finishing third in the group. A year later, the team repeated the result, conceding seventeen goals in six matches.

In the 2019/20 UEFA Youth League, the Azzurri once again struggled, earning just two points and conceding the ball twenty-three times. Last autumn, the team finished at the bottom of Group A with only one point. Watch the Napoli vs. Real Madrid match online.
