Hamsik: ‘No shame for Napoli’

By Football Italia staff

Captain Marek Hamsik says Napoli “must not be ashamed” after being knocked out of the Europa League.

The Partenopei drew 1-1 with Villarreal last night, going out to the Spanish side 2-1 on aggregate.

“We could have scored more in the first half,” Hamsik wrote on his official website.

“We created a lot of chances, but we had bad luck in finishing them off. We must not be ashamed of the elimination, we were superior to Villarreal.

“We have to keep our heads up, now let’s concentrate on the League.”

The Slovakian international scored Napoli's goal, but Maurizio Sarri's side were pegged-back in the second half.
