Well, we'll find out soon enough but it's not enough to use the Group Stage as benchmark for quality, plenty of teams that have started their campaigns slow end up going a fair distance in knockout tournaments. Plus - while you're right that Napoli finished comfortably second in the Serie A - they also finished well behind the eventual winners. Meanwhile, if we're talking about Liverpool being lucky in the group stages then they were arguably equally unlucky to not win the Premier League - not that I agree with either assertion, I just don't see how you can hold one view without the other.
