Hamsik signaled that Napoli had given up on Europa

Napoli host RB Leipzig at San Paolo in the first leg of the Europa League 2017/18 final. Napoli lost 1-3 and seemed to have no hope for them. Napoli actually excelled first through Adam Ounas scored in minute 52. But Leipzig replied through Timo Werner in 61 minutes, then turned lead thanks to Bruma's goal on 74 minutes, and confirmed victory through Werner's second goal in injury time. Napoli captain Marek Hamsik hinted that the chances of qualifying his team very thin. "It's deserved to be regretted, with 1-2, we can still reverse it, but having to win 3-0 in Germany is very difficult," Hamsik told Sky Sport Italia. "We know this game will not be easy, we are ahead of us, and should be able to control the game better." "Having conceded three goals at home in Europe is definitely not good - this is not the usual Napoli." Napoli will travel to Red Bull Arena to melakoni second leg party on 22 February.
