Napoli stars reacted on social media to their latest 2-0 win over Sassuolo, inspired by Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne’s goals.

Napoli had the perfect start to the Serie A season on Saturday, beating Sassuolo 2-0 away with goals from McTominay and De Bruyne.

McTominay, the 2024-25 Serie A MVP, celebrated Napoli’s win with some Instagram pictures, two football emojis and two blue hearts.

His teammate Matteo Politano commented on with a classic Neapolitan line: ‘Comm si fort’ which means ‘how strong you are!’

De Bruyne, on the other hand, celebrated with a short message in English: ‘Way to start!’ wrote the ex-Manchester City star who scored with a cheeky free kick in the second half.

De Bruyne and McTominay also spoke to DAZN after Saturday’s game.
