Napoli is unbeaten in all competitions this season after undergoing a roster restructure in the summer that saw new players replace several veterans.

The team led by Luciano Spalletti is currently three points ahead of Liverpool, who defeated Rangers 2-0, and is atop both Serie A and Group A of the Champions League. They have scored 13 goals in three victories.

This was Ajax’s worst defeat in Europe, their worst loss overall since 1964, and their joint worst home loss.
