Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti admitted disappointment after their 1-1 draw with Roma.
Napoli had the 1-0 lead through Lorenzo Insigne’s penalty until Stephan El Shaarawy scored a late equaliser.
“There is some disappointment, because for long periods we controlled the game well. We were up against a strong side that created problems for us,” Spalletti told DAZN.
“We’re disappointed about the final stages, we introduced fresh midfielders, but were unable to control the ball in the way I had expected and the goal we conceded was definitely avoidable.”
Insigne was in tears at the final whistle as he realised defeat left their title hopes hanging by a thread. The captain will leave this summer for Toronto FC.
“Naturally,” added Spalletti, “the fact we are getting closer to the moment he will be forced to abandon the team he always played for will provoke certain sensations. He played well and above all when he had to take on the responsibility of the penalty, he did his duty.”
