A team on display once again against the German team firmness, freshness and wardrobe background it was also definitively identified as a major European threat. And Napoli were ready to confirm the draw without hesitation or hesitation, at the height of history, in a Diego Armando Maradona stadium with only Neapolitan throats after the Italian ban against Eintracht fans. a grain of sand to prolong the dream that the southern city lived.

Spalletti did not want to speculate and Team ‘azzurri’ started very strong, put pressure, well aware that a goal in his favor almost completely closes the duel, but the one against him opens wide. There was no time to grope or let the minutes pass. The skirmish was quickly tamed by Lobotka, Anguissa and Zielinski in midfield, far superior to Gotze and company in midfield combat, feeding the balls of the three shooters this team enjoyed, and bolstering solid defense through a few woes. A first episode more than checked.

A control that is deceptive in football, which can turn into doubt, anger and bad feelings at any moment. But that’s why Osimhen is in this team, he’s an overconfident and arrogant striker. was responsible for ending the game at a crucial momentjust before the break.

His loyal aide Kvaratshelia had warned earlier in the minute, but was unable to open the score after a night of bad identification or three incidents where Trapp got in the way when Georgian didn’t feel completely comfortable.

Not having as many chances as ‘Kvaradona’, Osimhen took advantage of Politano’s lateral midfield to finish with a header and a release from the middle of the penalty area directly behind the net. The madness in Naples. He took off the mask he wore for the celebration. city ​​icon and it elevates you to hero status every time you see it. This was not enough for him, and as soon as the second act started, he gave the punishment. As a pure nine, Di was where he needed to be to force Lorenzo’s assist.

Fearing a possible surprise and sinking their opponent, Napoli prevailed much more calmly, enjoying the moment with their people, enjoying the moment for the third time in a stadium filled with Maradon air, with the serenity of knowing they were in the quarter-finals. so much so that from eleven meters after a penalty caused by Zielinski himself.

Napoli experienced a new magical night in the season. And that’s how this team plays, free from any kind of pressure, as if nothing that’s going on around them is on their own, as if they’re doing this almost every week, almost as if they haven’t written a new page in history. club
