De Laurentiis, out of his mind, took Politano away in the course of an interview!

Barcelona and Napoli meet in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. A clash that arrives with a 1-1 aggregate score after the first leg and with everything still to be decided at the Lluis Companys.

A match that is expected to be tense and controversial. Indeed, on Monday, there was an incident that bordered on the surreal. Matteo Politano, as usual, the day before the game, attended to the accredited media on the pitch.

However, when the player was speaking to Sky Sport, his president, De Laurentiis, came quickly and swiftly to remove him from the interview. "They can't talk to you," he said. According to several media reports, he even confronted the journalist and hit the camera.

De Laurentiis faces both disciplinary and financial penalties for the incident, as 'Sky Sport' owns the rights to the Champions League in Italy. The head of the club has vetoed both Sky Sport and DAZN over various rights disagreements.
