"We Are Not Messi" - What Kyle Walker Told João Félix During Heated Argument In Tunnel At HT Against Napoli

Kyle Walker became a focal point during AC Milan's Serie A clash against Napoli on March 30, 2025, at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. 

As Milan struggled with a two-goal deficit at halftime, Walker exchanged words with teammate Joao Felix while returning to the pitch for the second half. 

According to reports, Walker's advice to Felix was direct and pragmatic: “Just pass the ball. We are not Messi. No one here is Messi.” 

Napoli had dominated the first half with Matteo Politano scoring in the 12th minute, followed by a powerful finish from Romelu Lukaku in the 37th. AC Milan found themselves on the back foot as the home side displayed superior control and execution. However, Walker's leadership moment highlighted the internal drive within the Milan squad to mount a response.

The second half saw a more determined Milan side, with Luka Jovic pulling one back in the 79th minute to spark hope of a comeback. Despite their improved performance, the Rossoneri couldn't find the equalizer, ultimately falling 2-1 to Napoli. The result reinforced Napoli's strong standing in Serie A, while leaving Milan with valuable lessons from a game filled with both tactical and psychological challenges.
