For the Italians, the debut in the Champions League could not be more bitter than this. After the collapse of Juve in Barcelona and after the painful home draw of Roma against Atletico Madrid, yesterday evening it was the turn of Sarri's Napoli to know the defeat.
The Neapolitans lost 2-1 in Ukraine against Shakhtar. After the double Ukrainian lead, Napoli closed the gap in the 72nd minute with Milik scoring from a penalty for a foul on Mertens.
The mistakes of Milik and Callejon were fatal, which prevented Sarri's team from equalizing. However, the Ukrainians also hit a crossbar.
