Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik has revealed his delight at beating Borussia Dortmund in the first game of their Champions League campaign in Group F.

Hamsik said that coach Rafae; Benitez played him in a more advanced position on the night, but was pleased with the partnership he struck with Gonzalo Higuain.

"It was a very difficult game against a very strong side," he told UEFA.com. "We took to the field to win, and we've done it.

"I played a bit further forward than usual. I'd never played this position before, but I get on well with the runs Higuaín makes."

Napoli's next Champions League game is away to Arsenal on October 1.
