AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella insists they can be proud in defeat to Napoli.
Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon capped off an initial masterclass, though Juraj Kucka sparked a comeback for a more even second half.
“I don't think we did take the wrong initial approach this time, as we tried to control the game," Montella told Mediaset Premium.
“This time our opponents were really good at scoring two goals and in the circumstances we have to tip our hats to them. Unfortunately those two goals shook us up, but we didn't lose our heads.
“It was a great game of football with a lot of quality and I enjoyed myself, so I'm sure the fans did too. I am happy with what my lads did, I'm satisfied with the performance and feel we played on a par with the side that let's not forget finished second last season and is about to face Real Madrid in the Champions League.
“We have just begun our journey and this should make us look forward with optimism. We go on with heads held high."
