Four major Italian media outlets have given Napoli coach Rudi Garcia an identical rating after his first Champions League game since replacing Luciano Spalletti in the summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, Il Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport y Tuttomercatoweb Everyone has unanimously given Garcia a rating of six out of 10 after the Partenopei picked up their first three points of the European campaign with a 2-1 win in Braga on Wednesday night.
After Giovanni Di Lorenzo opened the scoring in Portugal, Garcia was caught on camera breathing a sigh of relief, which, according to La Gazzetta, is emblematic of how things have gone for the Frenchman so far. While Napoli were far from perfect, they ultimately got the job done.
It’s been a similar situation in Serie A, where Napoli don’t look like the same team that fought their way to the Scudetto last season, but still picked up two wins and a draw in their first four games.
However, what may be a cause for concern for Napoli in Europe is the risk of suspension of key players, with six yellow cards handed out on Wednesday.
Among those now at risk of suspension are Victor Osimhen, Matteo Politano, Giacomo Raspadori, Frank Zambo Anguissa, Mathia Olivera and Juan Jesus.
Napoli’s next step in the Champions League is the visit of Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid in early October.
