Spalletti: “That penalty doesn’t exist”

Luciano Spallettitechnician of Naplesanalyzed the performance of the southerners after the 1-1 Camp Nou with the Barcelona. The coach praised his team and charged the referee for the penalty that resulted in the Barça tie.

Did Napoli take a step forward?

There were times in the match where we couldn’t press high, but this is part of growing up. They know how to hurt you on the wings with one on ones, and this brings you down.

Can this Barça be eliminated?

The first part was equal, in the resumption we suffered. If we did it right for 45 minutes, we can do it for all 90.

What do you think about the penalty?

They deserved the draw, but that penalty does not exist. You can’t run with your hands behind your back, Juan plays only with his little finger and the ball didn’t change its trajectory. The 1-1 is fair, that penalty is not.

How did Osimhen play?

It helps you breathe and always makes the defense suffer. He must improve his movements and know when he is offside. In the second part it happened too many times.
