Unai Emery has won more games in the Europa League knockout stages than any other coach, but he faces a true test of his pedigree tonight.
The good news: we take a 2-0 lead to the Stadio San Paolo, so a solitary away goal would leave Napoli needing four.
The bad news: Serie A’s second-placed team can be a fearsome force on home soil, and have already beaten Liverpool here this season.
Carlo Ancelotti has promised “heart and intensity” from his players, and we’ll undoubtedly have a storm to weather.
Unai’s job is to find the perfect mix of protection and penetration. If he gets the balance right, a semi-final place should be ours.
