Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri was pleased with their 3-1 win over Sassuolo.

Allan, Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens scored for the hosts.

Sarri said: “The only thing we must believe in is Wednesday's game against Manchester City. We know it'll be very tough, but our minds must only go in that direction. The season has only just begun.

“The team is in good shape, we've got good sensations and the statistics are good too. We've got more quality and pace moving the ball around, but we'll have to see how the team evolves.

“We have alternated three or four players in the last two games and are trying to save them some minutes on the pitch where possible."
