Genoa responds to Ryanair's mockery over controversial Napoli defeat

Genoa's social media team engaged in a back-and-forth with Ryanair following a 2-0 loss to Napoli in the Serie A opening round on August 22, 2026. The losing side contested a key goal from Kevin De Bruyne, which they believed should have been disallowed due to a foul on Johan Vasquez. Both the referee and VAR upheld the decision to allow the goal. Ryanair initially mocked Genoa's situation on social media, prompting Genoa to reply with a jab referencing the airline's reputation for delays. The war of words highlights the ongoing interactions between sports teams and commercial brands on social platforms.
