Napoli midfielder Lobotka: I thought it was a penalty for Osimhen right away

Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka admits there was frustration after their Champions League defeat at Barcelona.

Lobotka felt Victor Osimhen had a good shout for a penalty during the 3-2 loss.

He said afterwards: “The first 15 minutes were not positive, we lost a lot of easy balls, obviously Barcelona with the quality they have, exploit the opportunities.

“Then we started to press and play as we know, but when you create opportunities you have to score goals if you want to hope to recover the result. In these cases you also need a bit of luck. However, we gave our all, now head to the championship and try to win as many games as possible.

“The episode about Osimhen? I thought it was a penalty right away, then the referee decided differently. Honestly, it’s difficult to say, they are contacts that in some cases are whistled and in other cases not, maybe it’s best not to say anything…”
