Spalletti managing that match yesterday gets 3 points out of it imo. Worst case would have been walking away with a draw.
Madrid's first two goals might not have happened if not for Rudi's style which leaves us very, very exposed to the counter and is a recipe for disaster if the side you're playing has dudes like Vini Jr. and Jude hauling ass down the pitch.
Napoli got very lucky with the penalty (which should not have been given imo), but Garcia's management of an elite midfield and the wings, with a world class winger in Kvara, has been criminal. Madrid's weakness has been defending headers in the box and we have arguably the best striker in the world at scoring from high crosses yet he's still not managing the style to this advantage.
