Hamsik: 'Chelsea match is Napoli's biggest'

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik believes that his side's Champions League tie with Chelsea tomorrow evening is their biggest match of the season to date.

The Slovakian international has revealed that the Partenopei will be looking to take advantage of the Chelsea's recent indifferent form.

"It will be a great game. It's the match of the season for us. The return of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Siena is obviously important as well, but the Champions League is fascinating," Hamsik told Il Corriere dello Sport. "It will a real treat for our fantastic fans, and for the team itself.

"Chelsea in a crisis? That's just something the news papers write. They have won only one of their last six games, though.

"It could be a favourable situation, but we have to be careful. Chelsea are a big team with some great players. We want a good result and will do our utmost to achieve just that."

Hamsik joined Napoli in 2007 from Brescia.
