Man City-Napoli, Hojlund: Always tough, harder with ten men | OneFootball

Unfortunately for Napoli, the first match of this new Champions League did not go as expected: Di Lorenzo's expulsion after about twenty minutes of play decided most of the game, which followed the momentum of Guardiola's Manchester City, who ultimately triumphed 2-0, thanks to goals from Halaand and Doku.

Manchester City-Napoli, Hojlund: “With the Citizens, it's always difficult, let alone with one man down”

After Napoli's debut match in the Champions League against Guardiola's Manchester City, Rasmus Hojlund commented on the result. Speaking to Sky Sport, he talked about the outcome, which was also due to the numerical disadvantage and the absence of Kevin De Bruyne: “I think playing against Manchester City, in this stadium and with the quality they have, is very difficult, even eleven against eleven, let alone with one man down. Kevin wanted to play the match, but the coach decides, and we have to respect his choices even if it had been someone else: we would have needed his quality, but the coach made this decision.”
