Overview
- Como beat Napoli 2-1 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday after Martin Baturina and Anastasios Douvikas scored in the first half and Rasmus Hojlund replied for Napoli.
- The win gives Como four points from two games and underlines their readiness to compete as they prepare for a first-ever Champions League campaign.
- Allegri said Napoli were “too soft” in defence, pointed to technical errors that led to the second goal, and revealed Scott McTominay has trained on a limited basis because of blisters.
- Cesc Fabregas said Como are still “gradually rebuilding” their squad for the step up to the Champions League and confirmed the club expects further signings, notably a striker.
- With the transfer window closing imminently, Napoli must integrate recent signing Benoît Badiashile and resolve fitness and selection issues before upcoming matches against Inter and in the Champions League.
