Max Allegri admits Napoli have ‘limitations’ after a 4-1 defeat to FC Porto, as their Champions League campaign hangs by a thread. ‘These are the mistakes that cost you matches.’
The Partenopei were truly decimated going into the Estadio do Dragao, as they were missing 10 players between injuries and ineligibility, leaving only three senior outfield figures on the bench.
In the circumstances, they still got to half-time with the score at 1-1, Scott McTominay cancelling out the free header from Jan Bednarek. However, they crumbled in the final 20 minutes with a Gabriel Veiga counter-attack, identical Jakub Kiwior header on a corner, and Samu’s penalty after a Rafa Marin red card offence.
