What happened. Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo said the Champions League match against Arsenal comes at the right time to recover from consecutive league losses.

Napoli lost to Como and Inter after opening with a win over Genoa.
They conceded five goals in two games, including three at San Siro.
Di Lorenzo stressed the need to defend as a unit and be more aggressive.

“This game arrives at the right time, as it’s good after a defeat to get straight back out there.”
