Napoli draws with Union Berlin in the Champions League


Stumble could give Braga the vice-management position

Playing at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, Napoli did not emerge from a simple 1-1 draw against the Germans Union Berlin in the Champions League.

The result was not positive for the current Italian champion, given that Portuguese Braga could come closer in case of victory over Real Madrid and put pressure on him for the last two rounds of the group stage.

On the pitch, Napoli opened the scoring with Matteo Politano in the 39th minute, but saw Datro Fofana equalize in the final phase of the match.

Rudi Garcia’s men had almost 30 shots on target and had more than 70% ball possession, but they were unable to translate their superiority into goals. The Germans, in turn, ended a series of consecutive defeats that had lasted for more than two months.

The Neapolitan’s bitter misstep could have an even more bittersweet flavor if Real Madrid did their homework and beat Braga at the Santiago Bernabéu. This would leave the Italians just one point away from the Champions League round of 16.

Napoli’s next match in the continental tournament will be against Real Madrid, in Spain, on November 29th. .
