PSV Eindhoven Stuns Napoli with 6-2 Champions League Thrashing

EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS – PSV Eindhoven delivered a stunning performance at the Philips Stadion, routing 10-man Napoli 6-2 in Champions League action. The victory marks PSV’s first in the competition this season after a loss to Union Saint-Gilloise and a draw with Bayer Leverkusen.

Scott McTominay opened the scoring for Napoli, but PSV quickly turned the tide with goals from Ismael Saibari, an own goal from Alessandro Buongiorno, and a brace from Dennis Man.

Napoli’s night went from bad to worse when Lorenzo Lucca was shown a straight red card in the 76th minute for dissent. Despite a late consolation goal from McTominay, PSV added two more through Ricardo Pepi and a spectacular long-range effort from Couhaib Driouech to seal the emphatic win.

“We’re thrilled with the result,” said PSV manager Peter Bosz. “The players showed great character and determination, and we were clinical in front of goal.”

The loss drops Napoli to 22nd in the 36-team Champions League standings, while PSV jumps to 11th. Napoli, who also suffered a defeat to Torino in Serie A, continue their recent slump.

PSV will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming Champions League fixtures, while Napoli will be desperate to bounce back from a disappointing week.
