Napoli coach Ancelotti: PSG pair Mbappe, Neymar can replace Messi, Ronaldo

Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti knows they face a huge test against Champions League opponents PSG this week.

Ancelotti rates his old team among the title favourites.

He said, “They've lacked experience in the important moments of the Champions League, but the team is stronger this season and the players have more belief in themselves. They know that they can win the Champions League this term.

“This is a game that can decide the destinies of these two teams.

“I think Kylian Mbappé and Neymar can succeed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the global football landscape. If Kylian doesn't win the Ballon d'Or this year, he certainly will over the next few seasons.

“Neymar has a new position and is at the heart of the team now. His new placement allows him to be more dangerous and effective for his team."
