apoli and Diego Armando Maradona are practically synonymous in the world of football, and the Italian club will be hoping a club legend like the Argentine can spur on a victory at such a difficult stadium as the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in their upcoming Champions League clash.
The first leg is on February 15th and Maradona has accepted his former club’s official invitation.
In fact, the first time the two teams faced each other in European competition was in 1987/88 when Maradona was still a part of the Partenopei.
Between 1984 to 1991, Maradona led Napoli and changed the face of Italian football.
The icon has already spoken with current coach Maurizio Sarri and some members of the squad against the key game.
