Napoli leave City on the brink

MANCHESTER CITY may be riding high in the Premier League but their Champions League hopes are out of their hands after Roberto Mancini’s side crashed to a 2-1 defeat to Napoli last night.

Edinson Cavani scored a brace either side of Mario Balotelli’s first half tap-in to condemn the Blues to a nervy final round of fixtures.

They need to beat Group A winners Bayern Munich at Eastlands on December 7 to stand any chance of progression.
