“You cannot write this screenplay, when you think we equalised to make it 1-1, they [Juventus] had a big chance with [Moise] Kean, we got the penalty," Genoa manager Alexander Blessin said.
"This is football, full of emotions. You see last week Mimmo [Domenico Criscito] did not score the penalty, now he has the responsibility and it is unbelievable how much pressure is on his shoulders at this moment.
"Winning this game, you cannot say it’s not deserved. We tried everything, and showed a really great mentality.”
The last meeting between Napoli and Genoa in a league match was on 29 August 2021.
Napoli edged out Genoa 2-1 in an encounter that was played at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris which was opened in 1911 and it is one of the oldest stadiums still in use for football in Italy.
