Kyle Walker embarrasses Joao Felix

Referee Sozza has just signaled the end of a disastrous first half for Milan, who were dominated by Napoli in the first 20 minutes after goals from Politano and Lukaku.

The red and black players descend into the Maradona Stadium's dressing room in despair, with little – if anything – to salvage from that performance. In the second half, Conceiçao's team will react, putting Napoli in difficulty until the last moment of the match, although in the end they will be defeated 2-1.

As the teams return to the pitch, the cameras focus on Kyle Walker, who is quickly following Joao Felix, saying something not very friendly to him.

Kyle Walker to Joao Felix: Pass the ball! You're not Messi!

The microphones pick up the harsh words of the English defender, a veteran who has seen it all in his career. He can accept being defeated by stronger opponents, but not a wrong approach to the game or a player who plays according to his own mind. "Pass the ball! We are not Messi!", Walker tells the 25-year-old Portuguese, continuing to reprimand him with obvious gestures, before the two disappear from the camera's field of view.

Joao Felix doesn't react, he looks exhausted, while his body language is not that of a player from whom one can expect a second half with anger and grit. And in fact, Conceição replaces him after just 10 minutes, introducing Leao (along with Chukwueze for Bondo). This change gives Milan new energy in the attempt to overturn the result, which culminates first with a missed penalty by Gimenez and then with Jovic's 1-2 goal. The Rossoneri surround the Napoli goal in the last minutes, putting the "Maradona" stadium in anxiety, but without achieving an equalizer.
