Overview

• Napoli fell 2-1 at San Siro, with Kevin De Bruyne converting a 60th‑minute penalty after Pervis Estupiñán’s red‑card foul, leaving the league lead shared with Milan and Roma.
• De Bruyne showed visible displeasure at being substituted, prompting Conte to say he hoped the anger was only about the result or the player had “found the wrong person.”
• Conte said he introduced fresher players for one‑on‑one situations and stood by the decisions, including replacing De Bruyne and Scott McTominay and switching Rasmus Højlund for Lorenzo Lucca.
• He criticized the two goals conceded as preventable and said the side must improve its collective defending.
• Selection was constrained by shortages in defense, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo suspended and doubts over Leonardo Spinazzola and Mathías Olivera, leading to a start for Luca Marianucci.
