Juventus goalkeeper Buffon: We'll learn from bad Napoli defeat

Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon insists defeat to Napoli was a good wake-up call.

The 2-1 defeat still has Juve top of the table.

“It was a bad defeat, sure," Buffon told Sky Sport Italia. “We could and should have done better.

“However, those delicate negative steps are needed to find the hunger and humility, and to not take anything for granted.

“Perhaps we underestimated Napoli, who are in a crisis. We knew that we would remain top even in the event of a loss. If it had been a decisive game, I'm sure Juventus would've won. We needed more intensity on our part."
