Sporting CP striker Fotis Ioannidis admits Kevin de Bruyne made the difference for Napoli last night.

De Bruyne was oustanding as Napoli won their Champions League encounter 2-1 thanks to Rasmus Hojlund's double.

Ioannidis admits the Belgian ran the game on the night, stating:  "De Bruyne is one of the best players I've ever seen in my entire career.

"He's fantastic, and when you play against him, you just have to try and stop him. He was unstoppable today, but that's okay."

Sporting coach Rui Borges also said: "De Bruyne makes a lot of difference with his quality, he is one of the best players in the world and when he comes into the game he is able to produce extraordinary plays."
