Serie A title holders Napoli have rounded off their pre-season preparations with a narrow 2-1 victory over Greek side Olympiacos.
Scorers: Politano 16', Lucca 53' ;Â Chiquinho 90'
Antonio Conte's side opened the scoring in the first half with an effort from winger Matteo Politano.
There was concern for the hosts before the break, however, as striker Romelu Lukaku was forced off with what appeared to be a thigh problem.
His replacement, Lorenzo Lucca, scored Napoli's second and final goal of the evening early in the second-half, following some clever play from Kevin De Bruyne.
Conte's side appeared to be heading for a clean sheet, but conceded a late consolation as the clock ticked over into stoppage time, stemming from a Vanja Milinković-Savić mistake.
Napoli will begin their Serie A title defence next weekend with a trip to face Sassuolo.
Their first five league fixtures also includes tricky tests against Fiorentina and AC Milan.
