Napolithe 3-2 defeat to Besiktas

Dries Mertens insists Napoli were “just unlucky” in the 3-2 defeat to Besiktas. “They had three shots and scored all of them.”
 
The Partenopei had been unbeaten on home turf in Europe for 18 games, but capitulated to the Turks with Lorenzo Insigne’s penalty parried and some terrible defensive errors.
 
“It hurts to lose like this,” Mertens told Mediaset Premium.
 
“We created so many chances and tried everything we could. Besiktas had three shots on target and scored with all of them.
 
“It’s not an issue of mentality or fitness levels, we were just unlucky.”
 
This was Napoli’s third competitive defeat in a row, the second at the Stadio San Paolo.
