Flares at the Napoli vs Marseille game in the Champions League.

Arsenal could face Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo behind closed doors when the two sides meet on December 11.

Once UEFA have finished their investigations into the crowd trouble that was prevalent during the game between Napoli and Marseille at Naples. Napoli won 3-2 on the night but rival fans clashed outside the stadium and ten injuries were reported. There were also a lot of flares set off inside the stadium, which raised a lot of complaints.

If UEFA punishes the Serie A club, it will come as a massive blow as Napoli’s San Paolo has one of the most passionate and intimidating atmospheres.

Both sides have 9 points and while Napoli have to travel to Dortmund, they will not want to play a decisive game inside an empty stadium.
