Napoli coach Rafa Benitez was left frustrated with the match officials in defeat to Juventus.

Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal were among the goalscorers for Juve.

"We all know Juve are a very strong side, that is beyond doubt," a visibly irritated Benitez told Sky Sport Italia.

"They taught me a phrase when facing Juventus: 'It can happen.' On the offside it is very difficult to tell, as Maggio is right behind Caceres, so it is very tough. It can happen.

"I say when the team recovered its intensity and got back into the game, we conceded that goal. It can happen.

"I 100 per cent believe the decisions were in good faith. Chiellini is offside and jumps, so he is interfering with play. Last season it was 15cm, this time it was millimetres.

"The Koulibaly goal that was disallowed - it can happen. Koulibaly jumped, the goalkeeper fell into him, it was Buffon's momentum that took him towards the defender. It is not a foul.

"Juve are a very strong side and can win the Scudetto, but we are allowed to complain. Anyway, I don't want to talk about refereeing decisions, especially after losing 3-1. I have the right to be angry at the way the game went, we can make all the comments and analysis we want, but in the end we still lost.

"There was another incident too, when Buffon picked up a back-pass from Chiellini. When the team works so hard, I don't enjoy losing like this."
