Benfica 2-0 Napoli, Mourinho: McTominay is my creation | OneFootball

Napoli lost 2-0 against Benfica, at the home of the Portuguese side, casting doubt on their qualification for the Champions League play-offs. The many injuries are draining the energy of Antonio Conte's team who, after the home victory against Juventus, were forced to surrender to the squad of José Mourinho, former coach of Inter and Roma among the Italian teams.

Benfica-Napoli 2-0, Mourinho: “McTominay is my creation, we deserved the victory”

José Mourinho commented on the result of the match to Prime Video microphones: “I spoke with Spinazzola, he is building a great career. As for McTominay, I talked about the fact that I am debuting the next Scotts: I did it with Callejon too, he seems like a coach. We deserved it, we played an extraordinary match. Some will say that today Napoli was not their usual team but I want to defend my work and that of the boys. We deserved a match we dominated, and winning against a team like this makes us realize we are still alive in the competition.

The math is simple, we have six points: if we had won at home against Qarabag, the story in this Champions League would be different. We had an extremely tough schedule, it was important to win today to still hope for qualification.”
