Benitez confident for CL return

Napoli Coach Rafael Benitez feels his side can overcome Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League play-off second leg at San Mames.

The sides drew 1-1 on Tuesday evening at San Paolo, Iker Muniain opening the scoring, with Gonzalo Higuain levelling before the final whistle.

AS reports Benitez as acknowledging the size of the task facing his side, but revealed he was feeling good about the trip to the Basque country.

“We didn’t get the result we wanted but I have confidence for the next game,” he told reporters.

“Many greats have fallen at San Mames.

“I am confident that our team isn’t physically well and can improve. We can do well and win the game.

“We have to make fewer mistakes in defence and be more certain in attack.”
