SARRI: "WE ARE STILL PLAYING FOR QUALIFYING RUN"

"We faced the best Real ever in the last months, but we are still playing for qualifying run". Maurizio Sarri praises his players and he reads in a positive key Napoli's chances for the return leg after the defeat at the Bernabeu.

"I daresay that tonight Real did not make mistakes, I think they have played the best match in the last three months. Even if we have performed a good match, we make some mistakes and they took advantage. We could have exploited the space they let uncover but we will study this aspect ahead of the return leg. We could put them into difficulties and be the protagonist of a crucial night at the San Paolo. We can do more and we will do our best".

"If Napoli play at its best, they are not far from Real Madrid. The main thing is to play at the top and tonight we didn't manage to do it always. By the way we are confident because we managed to face one of teh strongest team, both technically and tactically. We have not many chances to qualify but we will do our best. In the magical atmosphere and with the support of our fans we can change our anger into positive energy".
