Chelsea, managed by Liam Rosenior, secured a 3-2 victory over Antonio Conte's Napoli in a Champions League encounter on Wednesday. The match, held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, saw Chelsea qualify automatically for the knockout stages. Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring for the Blues with a penalty, but Napoli responded through Antonio Vergara and Rasmus Højlund to lead 2-1 at half-time. Joao Pedro then scored twice in the second half to complete Chelsea's comeback.
The defeat means Napoli are eliminated from the competition, extending manager Antonio Conte's poor record in European club football. Conte, who won the Champions League as a player, has never progressed beyond the quarter-final stage as a manager and has exited the group stage on several occasions. Rosenior's side now advance to the round of 16.
