Koulibaly hails Napoli after 'important victory' over Genk

The Senegal centre-back has taken to social media to praise the efforts of the Partenopei in bagging all three points against the Belgian giants

Kalidou Koulibaly has called Napoli's 4-0 Champions League win over Genk on Tuesday night an "important victory."

A hattrick by Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens penalty was more than enough to ensure the Partenopei finished in second place in Group E, behind Liverpool who beat Red Bull Salzburg 2-0.

"When on the field, we always give our best. This is an important victory," Koulibaly posted on Twitter.

Koulibaly has been ever-present for Napoli on the European scene this season, racking up a total of 540 minutes.

The 28-year-old has averaged 75.2 touches in the Champions League this season, 48.5 accurate passes per game (83%), as well as 1.5 interceptions, 2.2 tackles, 5.2 clearances, 3.7 ground duels won (59.5%) and 2.3 aerial duels won (66.7%).
