UCL | Villarreal 3-1 Napoli: Allegri’s men collapse in Champions League

Napoli fumbled a lead with Amir Rrahmani and fell apart for a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Villarreal, including a Matteo Politano howler of a back-pass. The Partenopei lost their opening Champions League fixture 1-0 at home to Arsenal , but were boosted by Saturday’s 3-0 Serie A win over Frosinone. Scott McTominay had his first start five weeks on from heart surgery to correct a mild benign arrhythmia, but Frank Anguissa, Mathias Olivera, Antonio Vergara, Alisson Santos, Costantino Favasuli and Alessandro Buongiorno were out of action.
