After Napoli-Lazio, Gennaro Gattuso spoke again about his time at Napoli, which ended without Champions League qualification after a draw with Verona on the final matchday. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Lazio coach said the pain is still the same and that the season had been incredible.

His biggest regret was what happened in the dressing room. He recalled that club president De Laurentiis came in to talk about bonuses and that nothing more was done afterwards. His players arrived drained, convinced qualification was already sealed, and for them it would have felt like a scudetto.

Gattuso said he left part of his heart in Naples and that the fans always showed him affection. His answer was met with genuine applause from the entire press room.
