The old side are third in the standings and 10 lengths behind the leaders, but Allegri is confident his side can return to the title race.

“We have to congratulate the people from Napoli. We were a little low on energy, but after the first twenty minutes of difficulty, we picked ourselves up. The championship is long, and today’s game ended like this.

When there are those mistakes, it’s hard not to concede goals, they happen. It happened on a night when we played against the best in the league, they deserve the place they have.

We have to work, we have to grow and stay positive. We had a good moment in the first half. The defeat is more than deserved, but the road is long” – Massimiliano Allegri.
