Napoli proved they are 'best team in Italy' by defeating 'aggressive' Rangers, says Alessandro Del Piero

Napoli proved they are 'best team in Italy' by defeating 'aggressive' Rangers, says Alessandro Del Piero

ITALIAN legend Alessandro Del Piero reckons Napoli proved they are the best team in his country at the moment because they defeated 'aggressive' Rangers at Ibrox.

The Serie A leaders have won both games in their group against Liverpool and Rangers and face the Scots in the penultimate game at the end of next month.

And World Cup winner Del Peiro was full of praise for Napoli for winning at Ibrox.

He said: "If anyone thought Napoli's win over Liverpool was lucky, then that was proved not to be the case by Napoli's success at Rangers.

"What a fantastic victory that was at one of the hardest places in Europe to get a win.

"The Scots know how to be rowdy and aggressive.

"At home, they are even stronger: the cheering from their fans urges them on.

"Winning at Ibrox is doubly difficult so Napoli deserves enormous credit for doing that.

"Luciano Spalletti has great experience and knows very well that games like that are unique and he knows how to get his message across to the team.

"It was a very hard game at Rangers but Napoli were excellent. They are the best team in Italy at the moment."
