Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti admitted relief after their 1-1 draw with Cagliari.

Gaston Pereira had Cagliari ahead until Victor Osimhen's 87th minute equaliser.

Spalletti said, “It was a complicated game for us, Cagliari deserved more. In fact, we deserved something less. We never took the game into our own hands, even though we had more possession. They wanted to play this game here and we wanted to play another.

“We have to be happy with the result because it happens to everyone after these Europa League games. We did too little in terms of quality. Don't say it's everyone any more, every time it happens in two days we lose 4-5 players. It was good of Osimhen to be available at the last second, he was at risk of not being in the game.

“Fabian had a problem, he was in pain, to play more than 20 minutes was a risk. As we saw in Barcelona, with his head broken with the eight points he wanted to come back and play the last 30 minutes.

“From this point of view I must recognise a good attitude, but they must also recognise that we must do something more. The quality we have, if we don't use it, then the decisions are made by others and we have to play games not according to our characteristics."
