Quaresma: ‘Napoli a great side’

Ricardo Quaresma called Napoli “a great team” after Besiktas were held to a 1-1 Champions League draw in Istanbul.

The Portuguese veteran converted a penalty to put the hosts in front before Marek Hamsik’s stunning equaliser.

“Naturally we still have a good chance of qualifying from our group,” said Quaresma.

“It is all in our hands. Benfica have to come here, but first we have Trabzonspor in the Super Lig.
