events: The match corresponding to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was played at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro) in Milan (north).
Five defeats piling up Naples in regular time throughout the season and the two faced off Milan. Also in April. Serie A doesn’t matter much for a team that is counting the days to remove ‘Scudetto’, but this Wednesday is burning up until recently the stubborn Napoli even more. Osimhen’s defeat was noted and he was certainly not as forgiving as his teammates did in the first leg of the match.
With the same eleven on day 0-4, Pioli seemed to get no results when his students simply drained the water. ‘Azzurri’ started collecting the arrivals from the first minute, corrected a mistake made by Krunic himself by closing Kvaratskelia’s shot. There is little about the Georgian today who kidnapped his favorite partner on offense.
Di Lorenzo tried again with Kvaratshelia unlucky, and Anguissa and Zielinski saw Maignan fly in their first response to seal the wall on their target. It was completed by all Napoli who didn’t take advantage of their moment, and in the Champions League this often pays off. Leao knocked Milan’s head off the field in a personal game that ended too hard. And it was fatal in the next match against Bennacer. Brahim’s magical start by surpassing his two rivals and his combination with Leao was completed by the Franco-Algerian. Kjaer, who braked terribly in a corner, brought the score to 2-0 in the extra time of the first curtain.
The Partenopean squad dusted off after the break and tightened the nuts on Milan once again. Di Lorenzo, who was very active, constantly rushed into bad goal, defense or goalie. Elmas also collided with Maignan, who gave a magnificent hand to Di Lorenzo, who dreamed of the ‘Rossonero’ goal at the end. At the time, Napoli were already ten points due to Anguissa’s double yellow, who, like Kim Min-jae, was going to be kicked out due to a penalty in the second game. Milan is respected in Europe.
