Football commentator Vladimir Stognienko analyzed the match between Manchester City and Napoli in the first round of the new season, praising Manchester City's 2-0 victory. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
During the match, Napoli found themselves in a difficult situation after one of their players was sent off in the middle of the first half. As a result, Manchester City applied intense pressure on the opponent's goal, forcing them to retreat to their own goal.
According to the expert, after that incident, Napoli's chances of winning were almost nonexistent. From the beginning of the game, when the score was 0-0, the situation was clear.
Stognienko especially expressed regret over the quick substitution of De Bruyne. In the next round, Manchester City will play away against Monaco, while Napoli will host Sporting.
These matches will take place within the framework of the Champions League and will further clarify the teams' prospects for the season.
