Napoli keeper De Sanctis: We couldn't handle Chelsea physicality

Napoli goalkeeper Morgan de Sanctis admits they couldn't cope with the physical nature of Chelsea's play last night.

Chelsea's 4-1 win last night was enough to see off Napoli 5-4 on aggregate in their Champions League clash.

"In the end it was important adventure. We had a fantastic Champions League, shame as the result of the first-leg gave us a great opportunity.

"We have suffered against their physicality in the dead-ball situations with Drogba and other players who physically have something more.

"Our limits? In the face of Chelsea and the teams we met in the group we suffered little, we can still improve with more enthusiasm and commitment."
