"It's one of the best games of my life, as to win against a side like Juventus is remarkable. We dedicate this to all the Napoli fans who were with us today and watching from home," Benitez told Rai Sport.

"Dries Mertens had a bit of an ankle problem, so De Guzman had to start. Rafael was excellent, Higuain made the difference in attack, but everyone worked so hard.
