Fans React As Napoli Debuts Valentine Kit in Coppa Italia Loss to Cremonese

• Napoli have been eliminated in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia by fellow Serie A side Cremonese.
• The league leaders debuted their special edition Valentine kit in the match but it did not bring. good luck.
• Neapolitans had earlier blasted the kit when it was announced on the club's social pages.

Napoli are in hot form in the Italian Serie A this season, leading on the table, nine points ahead of second placed AC Milan after just 18 games, and have only just lost once to Inter Milan.

They maintain similar form in the UEFA Champions League, winning their group and setting up a round of 16 tie against German Bundesliga club, Eintracht Frankfurt.

However, they have been knocked out of the domestic after losing on penalties to Cremonese, as reported by BBC Sports, but the fans' anger was directed at a limited-edition Valentine kit debuted in the match.

Afena-Gyan reacts to Cremonese victory

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ghanaian young striker Felix Afena-Gyan reacted after his heroic performance against the Italian heavyweights in the Coppa Italia.

Gyan came off the bench to score the equalizer in the 87th minute to force the match to extra time and also netted the winning penalty.

He was given his Serie A debut by Jose Mourinho at Roma last season, before he was sold to the 19th placed club in the summer, much to the surprise of Romans.
