In the first round of the Champions League, Naples lost 0-2 away to Manchester City. Dicanho, who served as the commentator of Sky Sports, commented on the competition.

In the 20th minute, Napoli defender Di Lorenzo was sent off for a foul. DiCanio said: "Di Lorenzo's tackle will not happen in Serie A. It was a desperate tackle and a mistake because he knew that Haaland would definitely score."

DiCanio continued: "In the face of a strong enemy like Manchester City, it is very important to keep the 11-man battle, because Manchester City will surround you and make things difficult. This game is devastating for some players."

Finally, DiCanio said: "The only criticism of Conte is that he lacks a little courage and attitude, a little ferocity and ruthlessness."
