It has been one magical start of the UEFA Champions League for Napoli, and the team coached by Luciano Spalletti has earned quite a few bragging rights following their win against Ajax.
The current Serie A leaders found a way to drill six goals past Ajax while playing away from home, and to give them one more reason to be proud, the fact that they are the most goalscoring team in the competition right now has given them a chance to make history when it comes to Italian clubs playing this tournament.
Spalletti's men have now found the back of the net 13 times in three games, which has earned them a spot in history as no other team from that country had accomplished that feat before.

The return leg between these clubs is set to take place next week at Diego Maradona Stadium. Will the high-scoring Italian side secure their spot in the next round and keep adding goals to their current record? We will have to wait one week to know the answer.
