On Prime Video's microphones there is all the satisfaction of the Italian coach Francesco Farioli, who with his Porto won 4-1 against Napoli today, finding the first success in the single group of the Champions League.
"I was hoping for a victory - says Farioli -. Tonight we had many opportunities in the first minutes, it took us a while to break the deadlock in the game.

The reaction was in the second half with the players who came in and let us finish the match with great energy and spirit".
"In the few moments in which we were not up to par - Farioli further analyzes - we paid the price. For the rest we played ball after ball, bringing quality and physicality: we are happy with the result of the match, for the special atmosphere, but now we have to calm our emotions because we have an important away match this weekend and we must continue to do well in the league too".
