Benfica winger Pizzi struggled to believe his side was beaten 4-2 at Napoli, or that they were trailing 4-0 at one stage.

“We started well and worked throughout the game. Having conceded three goals, it messed with our strategy,” he told the official Benfica Twitter feed.

If it had ended 4-0, it would’ve been the heaviest ever Champions League defeat for the Portuguese giants.

“We have to learn from our mistakes and look forward to the next match. We were unlucky. We are a team, everyone has enough quality and a good attitude.”

Napoli have a 100 per cent record and are top of their group with six points, compared to two for Besiktas, one each for Benfica and Dynamo Kiev.
