"We might have a thousand excuses, but they don't fit, because the match was going so well with those circumstances that we had to win. We showed for the fourth game in a row that we struggle. We were in total control, with 11 men against 10, so even if you're missing 10 players and feeling fatigue, you have to win these games. You just have to."
"There is disappointment because we didn't manage it, so evidently our level right now is not suited to this competition. We only have eight Champions League points; we've got to all accept the blame here, you've got to take home the result in a situation like this. There's not much else to say, we just have to be angry with ourselves, because it was a golden opportunity, and perhaps we didn't realise what was at stake."
Napoli were held to a 1-1 away draw by Copenhagen after Thomas Delaney received a first-half red card, putting play-off qualification in jeopardy. Scott McTominay scored shortly after the dismissal, but Napoli failed to make the most of the numerical advantage. Jordan Larsson converted the rebound of his own saved penalty to level the match and secure a point for Copenhagen. Napoli sit 23rd in the 36-team table and could fall out of the play-off positions depending on other results, leaving a challenging final group game against Chelsea. The team must be angry with themselves and accept blame for the missed opportunity.
