NAPLES-GRANADA | Gloria in Maradona's house

The story continues. Granada will be in the round of 16 of the Europa League thanks to that unwavering faith that distinguishes them and that has him in a cloud since Diego Martínez landed in Los Cármenes two and a half seasons ago, with the team in Second. The classification forced another machado and the team achieved it. Despite the 2-0 in the first leg and Montoro's precious goal in the 25th minute, the game once again put the rojiblancos on the edge.

The battle at Diego Armando Maradona left four new victims in the Nasrid war party. Darwin Machís, one of Diego Martínez's stilettos, was injured in the warm-up. The Venezuelan was followed by Gonalons, Carlos Neva and Germán, all of them with muscle injuries. The first two fell before the break, while the captain left the pitch shortly after returning from the locker room. The Galician coach was forced to pull Víctor Díaz, Nehuén and Yangel, who left Sunday's game in Huesca with problems and came out on the pitch in minute 55 '.

If Gattuso wanted a favorable scenario for the comeback, he could not imagine it better. Eteki gave a ball to Bakayoko in the midfield and Zielinski advanced the Italians before 180 seconds of game. But Granada brought out his trade and balanced the game and the scoreboard. Montoro, the rojiblanco motor, expanded his excellent repertoire with a manual header after a good cross from Foulquier. The 1-1 diminished the momentum of Napoli, who only found some encouragement in a free-kick that Insigne crashed off the crossbar after a new gift from Eteki.

Granada emitted very solid and convincing signals, but the Nasrids do not understand conquests without epics and the injuries were dismantling Diego Martínez's plan until he had almost no room for maneuver. Fabián found the only hole left by the red-and-white rear to make it 2-1 with more than half an hour ahead. Vallejo and Soldado, in worse physical condition than fair (the center-back trained yesterday outside the group), went out to row in 83 'to finish off the feat. Naples squeezed until the end. But the Nasrid rear and Rui Silva remained insurmountable. The eighth demanded a feat and Granada, devastated by the physical problems of its players, starred in another heroic night and achieved glory in the Maradona temple.
