Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo hailed the performance of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia for their Champions League win at Union Berlin.

The Georgian created the winner for Giacomo Raspdori on the night.

Di Lorenzo said, “It was a difficult game, there were moments where we struggled, but I feel it was a deserved victory against a well-organised and very physical side,.

“Playing away from home makes the win even more important, we will have the return fixture and that too will be decisive for qualification. We are in a good position to qualify to the next round.

“In games like this, you need the moments from those players with the most quality and I am pleased to have these teammates who can change a game at any moment."

Di Lorenzo concedes they're no longer a surprise packet this season in the competition.

“Yes, that makes sense. Last season nobody expected us to do so well in Serie A or the Champions League. The opponents study us more now and are better prepared.

“It was not easy in this fiery atmosphere, but we had the right attitude and took home the points."
