At the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, a match of the first matchday of the Champions League general site will take place: Napoli — Arsenal. In the last decade, the opponents crossed paths twice in the international arena: in the group stage of the 2013/14 season, the Italian club won 2-0, and in the quarter-finals of the 2018/19 Europa League, the Londoners won 1-0. The hosts won silver medals in the Italian championship, while the guests won gold in the English championship for the first time since 2004.

Napoli starts the 13th season in the main European tournament in its history. In 39 home matches of the competition, the Italian team suffered only 5 defeats. As part of the tournament, the hosts held 8 matches against English opponents, winning over Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. In the opening meeting, the team from Naples needs to maintain high density in defense and work reliably against the fast attack line of the opponents.
