"First, I will start by talking about Guardiola, because I learned a lot from him. If my previous words were misunderstood, please forgive me. We love it when people talk about Napoli and enjoy our game. But it's another matter when Guardiola says Napoli can win the Champions League. We are not a team that will worry about our performances in this tournament.

We have already made history, now let's enjoy. I hope that I will be able to meet Guardiola and have a cup of Turkish coffee with him, joking about all this," the 64-year-old coach was quoted by Football Italia.

It was previously reported that Guardiola refused to answer questions about Napoli, given Spalletti's previous reaction.
