Christian Maggio: 'Marseille must not be taken lightly'

Maggio: 'Marseille must not be taken lightly'

Napoli wingback Christian Maggio has urged his side to be careful against Marseille in the Champions League tomorrow night, as Rafael Benitez's men look for back-to-back wins over the French giants.

The Azzurri moved level with Group F rivals Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund with a 2-1 win at Stade Velodrome last month, thanks to strikes from Jose Callejon and Duvan Zapata.

Marsille have lost three successive games in Europe this year but Maggio has insisted that Elie Baup's side are not to be taken lightly, picking out playmaker Mathieu Valbuena as their most dangerous player.

He told reporters at a pre-match press conference: "This OM team has some real individual quality. They shouldn't be underestimated.

"We can't take a win for granted just because we're playing at home. They have the likes of Valbuena, who can cause a lot of problems between the lines.

"We have to be careful. Compared to our first experience in the Champions League, the team has grown and has become even more ambitious."

Napoli have won their last three matches in all competitions, suffering just two defeats in 14 matches so far under Benitez.
