Italian Napoli head coach Luciano Spalletti refused to shake hands with Spartak Moscow coach Ruy Vitoria after the match of the fifth round of the Europa League group stage. The correspondent of “Lenta.ru” informs about it.
After the final whistle, the head coach of the red-and-white team, whose team won, came up to greet Spalletti, but he responded with a demonstrative refusal.
Spartak beat Italian Napoli 2: 1. The meeting took place in Moscow at the Otkrytie-Arena stadium. At the same time, the red-and-white went ahead already in the third minute after striker Alexander Sobolev converted a penalty.
After five matches, Spartak topped the group C standings. Like Napoli, the red-white team has seven points. Ruy Vitoria’s team is ahead of rivals due to victories in face-to-face meetings. Nevertheless, on November 25, Spartak may lose the lead if Legia and Leicester City do not draw.
The first meeting between the teams took place on September 30 in Naples. Then “Spartak” managed to win with a score of 3: 2, the double was marked by the midfielder of the red and white Quincy Promes.
