It was a moment of pure class followed by heartbreak in Napoli’s clash with Inter Milan.
Kevin De Bruyne stepped up to take a crucial penalty and converted it with his usual calm and confidence, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to give Napoli the lead.
But just minutes later, the joy turned to concern — De Bruyne suddenly went down, clutching his leg, and had to be substituted. The stadium fell silent as Napoli’s medical team rushed to his aid.
After returning from a series of fitness issues, this injury will be a major worry for Napoli fans and staff. From hero to heartbreak in seconds — a cruel twist for one of football’s finest midfielders.
