Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri was proud of their performance at Champions League opponents Manchester City.

Napoli impressed in their Champions League debut on Wednesday, as they very nearly beat Roberto Mancini's Manchester City.

"We have to play against Milan the same way we did in the second half in Manchester," declared Mazzarri.

"Although I told the lads not to be too respectful or in awe of City, in the first half they were too tense.

"Clearly it was a great performance after the break. Against a top side we were able to play our football and impose our tempo. In Manchester we finally managed to have the attitude of a big club.

"We must stay humble, know our limitations, but at the same time never stop working to go past those limits.

"This is a different Napoli compared to last season. When we step on to the field, we have something more in terms of belief."
