Napoli have condemned journalists representing the club after they let the officials know what they thought of their performance last night.
Some journalists who cover Napoli gathered in the mixed zone and waited for Istvan Kovacs to come through, with shouts of ‘Shame!’ that clearly startled the referee. He was followed by former Serie A referee Rosetti, who is now the UEFA Chief Refereeing Officer, who looked rather stone-faced.
Comunque sarebbe cosa buona che in una zona mista o in sala stampa ci andassero solo giornalisti. Non tifosi#MilanNapoli pic.twitter.com/bJTo9ta7Ca

This obviously hugely oversteps the mark of unprofessionalism on the part of those who work in the media, and Napoli have since tweeted: “SSC Napoli strongly condemns the actions by some journalists against the referees which took place in the mixed zone at the end of the Milan-Napoli match.”

But Napoli didn’t shut up Spaletti and Almas for keeps talking about referee nor stop their fans who try to sue UEFA 🤣
