Politano apologises after Napoli collapse at Porto

Matteo Politano said Napoli must apologise to their fans after a heavy defeat at Porto, a result that leaves Massimiliano Allegri's side on three points after four matches, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Politano, who wore the captain's armband in Portugal, told Prime that everything went wrong and that words are carried away by the wind, adding that the team produced too few actions on the pitch. He said the players should stay quiet, apologise to the supporters who travelled and focus on Sunday's match.

Napoli had ended the first half level at 1-1 after Scott McTominay cancelled out an early deficit, but Politano said they conceded from a corner in a manner a physical side like theirs should not allow. He added that they managed the game in the second half before softening at 2-1, which he said produced the final result.
