Il Napoli is officially out of the Champions League, but not only that: the Azzurri are also excluded from the Club World Cup 2025, leaving room for Juventus (unless the Azzurri appeal). The 3-1 defeat at Barcelona was decisive after the 1-1 draw in the first leg.
The Neapolitan team can no longer accumulate points in the special dedicated FIFA ranking and is consequently unable to reach Juventus, with the Bianconeri closing at 47 points against Napoli's 42. Lazio, eliminated last week by Bayern Munich, also cannot reach the Bianconeri.
The teams qualified for the competition are Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, Porto, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica and Juventus.
