Conte Laments Spending Gap as Napoli Falls to Chelsea

Antonio Conte didn’t hold back after Napoli’s dramatic exit from the Champions League, subtly criticizing former club Chelsea’s massive financial advantage following their 3-2 victory at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Despite a spirited comeback that saw Napoli lead 2-1 at halftime thanks to strikes from Antonio Vergara and Rasmus Hojlund a second-half brace from Joao Pedro sealed Napoli’s fate.

The defeat left the Serie A side 30th in the standings, ending their European campaign.
