"Napoli" coach Carlo Ancelotti failed to fulfill the promise to avenge London's "Arsenal" team.
"Serie A" representatives lost 0:1 at home and had to withdraw from the tournament after the second Europa League quarterfinal match (overall result 0:3).
Nevertheless, after the match, the 59-year-old specialist did not intend to criticize his players.
"I still believe that this squad is of high expertise. The players did everything they could, but this is football," said C. Ancelotti.
"Not everything always goes as you want it to. We tried, but now we look forward and do not intend to make a drama out of it.
The team is united and the players, continuing their achievements of this season, continue to lead the team forward.
I do not think that "Napoli" club has often reached the Europa League quarterfinals in the past, and our goal is always to improve."
