“Napoli” knocked out “Eintracht” and achieved the best result in the history of the club in the Champions League: reaching the quarter-finals. Luciano Spalletti, the Serie A side’s manager, has spoken of his side’s “historic goal” and Pep Guardiola’s worrying statement.

Luciano Spalletti bothered by Pep Guardiola’s compliments

The Manchester City boss has praised the Vesuvius side, saying Napoli are one of the big favorites to win the Champions League, but Spalletti says the claims are just a “game” by Guardiola.

“Compliments from great coaches, of course, bring us pleasure, but they are meant to put a little pressure on us and bring him to their team. I don’t agree with these little games of Pep Guardiola. Manchester City spent 900 million, we spent 9 million. This is his little trick.

It was not easy, but we managed to achieve a historic goal. It was not an easy goal, but such a result has not been seen in the entire existence of our club. And that’s a lot. Now I hope we can enjoy together with the whole team and the fans.

It is important that we always have the attitude we have tonight. The team is ripe for a change in attitude after Glasner (No. Oliver, Eintracht coach) decided to adopt a different tactic to the one they play in the Championship.

From the first match in this competition, we showed individuality and quality” – Luciano Spallettiafter qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
