Napoli Boss Sarri Expecting Better Europa League Display After 'Buffoon-Like' Leipzig Defeat

Maurizio Sarri has admitted that his Napoli team played 'like buffoons' in their Europa League last-32 first leg clash with RB Leipzig.

The boss of I Ciucciarelli told reporters at his pre-match press conference (h/t Football Italia) ahead of the return leg that he shouldered much of the blame for the 3-1 loss to the German outfit last Thursday.

However, Sarri also stated that his players and staff should take a tiny portion of the blame and urged his stars to take today's match by the scruff of the neck to stand any chance of progressing to the next round.
