Valery Masalitin, a former CSKA Moscow forward, offered his thoughts on the upcoming Champions League quarter-final return leg between Napoli and Milan. The match is set to take place on April 18 at Napoli’s home stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 22:00 Moscow time. Masalitin emphasized the heightened intensity that such clashes carry, especially when two teams with a long history of domestic battles meet on the continental stage. He noted that the atmosphere in the stadium will be electric, fueled by the strong support from fans, and that the players are likely to respond with a level of passion that only these high-stakes ties can provoke. The sense of familiarity between the two sides, forged by frequent league and cup confrontations, tends to translate into a game where tactical patience blends with raw emotion, keeping spectators glued to every moment on the pitch.
