De Bruyne sends message to Modric after Milan 2-1 Napoli defeat: ‘Good to see you’ | OneFootball

Kevin De Bruyne sent a public message to Luka Modric after their meeting in Milan’s eventful 2-1 victory over Napoli on Sunday evening, which has brought both the Rossoneri and Roma level with the Partenopei at the top of the Serie A table: ‘Good to see you’.

Milan beat Napoli 2-1 thanks to early goals from Christian Pulisic and Alexis Saelemaekers. Pervis Estupinan was sent off midway through the second half, with De Bruyne finding the net from the resulting penalty, which, however, was not enough for Antonio Conte’s side to get back into the game.

As things stand, there are now three teams level on points at the top of the table, with Milan, Napoli and Roma all on 12 from five matches. Juventus sit one off them in fourth place on 11 points.
