Napoli fullback Elseid Hysaj says they must learn from victory over Sassuolo.

Hysaj struck in the 2-0 win and admits it represented a good test ahead of their Champions League round 16 second-leg clash at Barcelona.

With the aggregate score locked at 1-1, Hysaj says: “I am very happy with my first goal, especially wearing the Napoli jersey. There weren't any fans, but I enjoyed it anyway! I dedicate this goal to my family and hope that there will be more goals in future.

“We made mistakes too, fortunately VAR was there to show that they were offside and shouldn't have counted, but we really need to improve and not run so many risks.

Barcelona play the same kind of football as Sassuolo, but obviously with much more quality, so we need to be even more careful on the details when we face them in the Champions League."
