Lorenzo Insigne said Napoli had one of their worst performances of the season after losing the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final at Arsenal 2-0.
Aaron Ramsey s opener and a Kalidou Koulibaly own goal left Napoli with it all to do in the return fixture at the Stadio San Paolo next Thursday.
Insigne wasted a big chance to reduce the deficit moments before half-time, while Piotr Zielinski missed an opportunity to secure a late away goal when set up by the Italy forward.
And Napoli s captain accepted he felt guilty about blazing over the crossbar, while highlighting the failures of his side in the first half.
I am still thinking about that chance, because an away goal would have been important, Insigne said to Sky Sport Italia. I got there to…
Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado believes a very strong Juve is being born ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
The Colombia international was speaking after a 2-0 friendly win over Mexican side Guadalajara in Las Vegas; Marco Da Graca and Mattia Compagnon on target at the Allegiant Stadium.

Arsene Wenger s record-breaking 811th Premier League match in charge of Arsenal ended in a dramatic 1-1 draw with West Brom.
The Gunners produced a fairly listless performance at The Hawthorns in the absence of the injured Mesut Ozil, but Alexis Sanchez s deflected free-kick seven minutes from time looked to be enough for them to snatch all three points.
However, a controversial late penalty allowed Jay Rodriguez to score the equaliser and lift West Brom off the bottom of the table on goal difference, while Arsenal move into fifth above arch-rivals Tottenham, but are three points off the Champions League spots.
Ozil was left out of the squad due to a knee injury that could also see him miss Wednesday s clash with Chelsea, and Wenger was given a further headache …

Steve Bruce is sure his struggling Hull City can finish higher in the Premier League than last season and is eyeing a revival at Sunderland.
Hull have endured a miserable 10-match winless run their last victory coming over Crystal Palace on October 4 leaving them second from bottom at Christmas.
The barren sequence comes despite heavy investment during the last transfer window, with the likes of Abel Hernandez, Gaston Ramirez and Mohamed Diame all moving the KC Stadium.

Of course it s been the most difficult […
