Excuse My French

We were denied a 6/1 winner in the 94th minute when these sides met a fortnight ago and the only consolation is we can get our revenge quickly, on Tuesday night.

Napoli played with assurance and no little quality in Paris and were only undone by a freak own goal and a moment of late, late brilliance from Di Maria. But they still drew 2-2.

Now back in Italy they are a great price at best odds of 15/8 with BetFair to take three points, just as they did against Liverpool.

Ancelotti’s boys have won twice more without conceding since that Champions League heartache and are very much in the mix in Serie A. PSG are running away with Ligue 1 but that counts for so little as to almost count against them. They never get real tests domestically so struggle to readjust to big European nights.
