Antonio Conte is a coach who has won trophies and titles wherever he has managed, but in no club, never, has Conte excelled in the Champions League. This was the 7th time that Conte has participated in the Champions League, but he has again closed it out ahead of schedule. In these seven occasions, only once has Conte reached the quarter-finals, at the head of Juventus, this is also his best result in the Champions League.

His Napoli failed to even secure a place in the play-offs, but were eliminated in the first round.

To see after 25 years, a champion team in Italy fails to even get past the group stage. Something like this happened with Juventus in the 2013/14 season.
