Hamsik: Napoli’s Last Match Against Arsenal Will Be Decisive

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik believes that the Azzurri’s last matche of the Champions League group stage will be decisive in who qualifies for the next round.

The Partenopei were victorious over Olympique de Marseille with a 2-1 result on Tuesday and now have six points in the Group F standings, putting them in a three-way tie with Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.

Hamsik released a statement on his official website on Wednesday and reflected on the Azzurri’s win over their French opponents, while also commenting on his team’s last match against Arsenal at the San Paolo on December 11.

Klopp confident of Champions League progression

The 46-year-old is in no doubt that last year's runners-up will enjoy another good run in Europe as long as they can maintain their current level of performance.

Jurgen Klopp was bullish about Borussia Dortmund's chances of reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League after their 3-0 win over Olympique de Marseille.

The 46-year-old coach watched from the stands at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday as a Robert Lewandowski brace and a Marco Reus free kick ensured Dortmund picked up their first win of this season's competition.

Borussia Dortmund 3-0 Olympique de Marseille: Lewandowski leads BVB to comfortable success

The Poland international netted twice, while Marco Reus also found the back of the net, as last year's runner-up kick-started their European campaign.

Robert Lewandowski, who netted a double, and Marco Reus were the men on target as the hosts - beaten finalists last term - got their first-ever win in the competition against the French side.

Poland international Lewandowski put the finishing touches to a well-worked team goal after 19 minutes before Reus' free-kick found its way into the back of the net seven minutes after the break.

Ribery: Bayern attract world-class players

The France international has hailed the Bundesliga leaders' renewed ability to sign big names following their success in Europe in recent years

Franck Ribery believes that Bayern Munich can compete with clubs such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and big guns from the Premier League when it comes to attracting high-profile names in the transfer market.

The Frenchman feels that world-class players previously preferred a move to Spain or England, but the Bavarians recent good results have made them an enticing destination, too.

"Bayern have always been Bayern. However, in the past, top-players were more likely to look at Barcelona, Real Madrid or the Premier League," Ribery told Sport Bild.

"Nowadays, you get the impression that world-class players would prefer to join Bayern. 

"The fact that we reached the Champions League final two times in the last three years speaks for itself."

Ribery joined Bayern from Olympique de Marseille in the summer of 2007, and has since become a key player at the Allianz Arena.
