Luciano Spalletti proved to be a very sore loser yet again
Napoli lost their second match in just four days and their coach Luciano Spalletti isn't having any of that! After his side's deserved 2-1 defeat at Spartak Moscow in the Europa League, he refused to shake hands with the opposing tactician Rui Vitoria.
The Neapolitans arrived to cold and snowy Moscow from their rather warm home in Naples and it's safe to say that they didn't enjoy their trip one bit.

A first-half brace from star striker Aleksandr Sobolev secured the three points for Rui Vitoria's side on a bitterly cold night in Moscow. And although the visitors managed to pull one back through Eljif Elmas with almost 30 minutes left, they were unable to find an equaliser.
As it's perfectly understandable and quite common, the Russians did their best to waste every second as the game entered its final stages. And it didn't go down well with Spalletti, who was in no mood for niceties at full-time.
Vitoria attempted to shake his opposing number's hand, but Spalletti openly refused, which prompted a quite brilliant reaction from the likeable Spartak boss.
Two emojis to describe this? Hmm...
