Raul Albiol admits “it could’ve been worse” after Napoli scraped a 1-1 draw with Roma in the final minute.

Although Dries Mertens scored a late equaliser, the Partenopei dominated for long periods and had numerous chances.

Yet, at the same time, Albiol performed a goal-line clearance to deny Edin Dzeko a potential second goal.

“Fortunately we scored at the end, as it could’ve been worse,” Albiol told Rai Sport.

“Fortunately we scored at the end, as it could’ve been worse,” Albiol told Rai Sport.

“The team is improving and we’ve got to continue like this. It has been a tough week with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Roma defended very well, we have to look at it as a point earned and keep working.

“We know our strength and have to stick close to Juve. It was an excellent second half performance and we pinned Roma back.”
