Video: Furious Lucca confronts De Bruyne on the pitch as Napoli tension escalates

Tension at Napoli is skyrocketing as Lorenzo Lucca openly confronted Kevin De Bruyne during last night’s loss against Porto: ‘Why are you speaking? F*** off!’

Napoli crisis continued on Wednesday as the Partenopei suffered a 4-1 loss to Francesco Farioli’s Porto in Champions League Round 4.

Tension escalated in the second half after an ugly on-pitch confrontation between Lucca and De Bruyne.

Footage from Amazon Prime Italia shows the Italian striker hitting back at his teammate, going face-to-face with him and saying, ‘Why are you speaking?’ before repeatedly shouting, ‘F*** off!’

Napoli have lost seven of their 14 games across all competitions this season and sit 27th in the Champions League standings, outside a play-off place.
