Swansea gave a brilliant performance as they defended Rafael Benitez’s side for a 0-0 draw at the Liberty Stadium.
The score card confirmed Swansea getting past the last 16. “We’ve got every chance of going through,” said Ben Davies. “We know it’s going to be tough but there’s no reason why we can’t turn them over. We are going there with no pressure, we are still underdogs.”
If Swansea managed to get through, they would have to face either Porto or Eintracht Frankfurt who are placed at 2-2 following their last-32 first leg.
But Napoli have shown their aggression by overcoming Arsenal 2-0 at the Stadio San Paolo in the group stages of the Champions League. The Swans have huge hopes on Wilfried Bony, who scored two in their 4-3 defeat against Liverpool on the weekend. According to Davies scoring first and gaining the lead would be the main key on Thursday. “If we can get something early it will be a massive boost for us,” said Davies. “We are just going to try and play our game and go for it. If we do that then we can come away from it going through to the next round.”
