An evening to forget for Napoli, who suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat in the transfer to Porto, in the fourth week of the Champions League, remaining with only 3 points after the first 4 matches, thus significantly jeopardizing the continuation of the European journey. McTominay's goal in the first half, which scored the provisional equalizer, is not enough for Allegri's team. After the temporary equalizer, Napoli collapses in the second half, conceding three more goals and recording the third defeat in four European matches. The Portuguese secured the victory thanks to Bednarek, Gabri Veiga, Kiwior and Samu's penalty in extra time.

But besides the result, what makes the situation even more worrying for the Neapolitans is the tensions within the team. De Bruyne and Lucca clashed on the pitch, while after the match Matteo Politano openly criticized some of his teammates, demanding that everyone take their responsibilities. Hojlund and McTominay also demanded an immediate reaction from the entire group, while with their statements they openly implied that they did not agree with the choices of the technician Max Allegri.

Napoli must now put this dark evening behind them and find the strength to react, as another difficult challenge awaits them against Lazio at the "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium this weekend.
