FC Zurich coach Magnin tells Napoli: Now win it!

FC Zurich coach Ludovic Magnin is backing Napoli to win the Europa League.

Zurich had already lost 3-1 at home in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 32, and fell 2-0 at the Stadio San Paolo.

“We played well and showed a different attitude to the first leg," said Magnin.

“We had our scoring opportunities and I am content with our performance, as the gap between us and Napoli was less obvious tonight.

Napoli have a lot of experience and I hope they can win the Europa League, that way we can say we were only eliminated by the best side in the tournament!

“Over the two legs, I saw a Napoli team that was solid and had a lot of talented players. Piotr Zielinski really impressed me in Switzerland.

“I feel we went out of the Europa League with our heads held high."
