In the first round of the Champions League, Naples lost 0-2 away to Manchester City. Naples legend Sosa talked about substitutions in the game.

Naples was sent off by a red card in the 20th minute, and then coach Conte chose to replace De Bruyne. In response, Sousa said: "Swap De Bruyne is a major decision. Conte replaced the best player in the team. To be honest, I don't like this decision. Putting aside the specific situation of the game, but replacing De Bruyne is a risk that only a person like Conte dares to take. This is a very important decision. If it were me, I would choose to replace Politano."
