Albiol insists no Napoli panic after Athletic Bilbao draw

Napoli defender Raul Albiol says they're well placed in their Champions League qualifying tie with Athletic Bilbao.

The Azzurri were 1-1 at the San Paolo last night.

"It's a difficult stadium, we knew from the start it would be played over 180 minutes," the Spanish defender told Sky Sport Italia.

"We wanted to win tonight, got a draw, and have to remember there are another 90 minutes to go.

"We have to score a goal in Bilbao and I'd say what we saw tonight suggests we've got a very good chance of going forward."
