Carlos Tevez put the Serie A champions in front twice in Doha, only for fellow Argentine Gonzalo Higuain to score a brace of his own to ensure Napoli took the game to penalties.
Higuain's second goal came with only two minutes of extra-time remaining, before Napoli goalkeeper Rafael denied Giorgio Chiellini and Simone Padoin from the spot as Rafael Benitez's side ran out 6-5 winners in the shootout.

"We weren't able to lift a trophy we'd hoped to win but that will make us even angrier and even more determined if we find ourselves in a similar situation in future."
