The match between Napoli and Inter Milan in the Italian league witnessed a dramatic and painful moment, as the celebration of Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne for his goal turned into shock due to a serious injury he sustained while taking the penalty that gave his team the lead, according to "Football Italy".

The same source clarified that the penalty was supposed to be taken by David Neres, but coach Antonio Conte instructed from the sidelines to give it to De Bruyne, who succeeded in scoring past goalkeeper Sommer.

However, the joy of the goal quickly dissipated, as De Bruyne clutched his right thigh muscle and fell in pain, leading to his substitution for Matias Oliveira after he was unable to walk on his own, as he left the field on a stretcher amidst applause from Napoli fans at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

The report indicated that De Bruyne's injury adds to the long list of absences in Napoli's squad, which includes Rasmus Hojlund, Lobotka, Alex Meret, Amir Rahmani, and Lukaku.
