Napoli defender Raul Albiol played down Gonzalo Higuain's strop at the end of their Champions League qualifying tie with Athletic Bilbao.

Higuain was on target in the 1-1 draw, but seemed irritated after the final whistle.

Albiol said: "It's a normal reaction, as we wanted to win tonight. He scored a wonderful goal and we have hope for the second leg in Bilbao.

"We'll need to work hard and prepare for the final 90 minutes."
