San Siro dresses

hIt’s been many years since the San Siro had a big night in European football…with one of their teams on board. The 2011/12 season was the last to see Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals. Milan and Barcelona tied (0-0) at that time so that the Camp Nou celebrated in the second leg with a score of 3-1 that put the Catalans.

now, Milan returns… After eliminating Tottenham, the Rossoneri refers to the great Italian league leader: Napoli. A duel between siblings would leave one Italian out, but that would put another in the semi-finals. Since Roma eliminated Barcelona with a goal from Manolas, no representative of “Calcio” has been able to do this. Now, San Siro is preparing to pass the sentence in the first round of the two rounds. To push his team towards the 75,000 spectators, he is expected to be at La Scala del Calcio who will surely make “Sara Berchi Te Amo” resound in the run-up to the match.

Naples without “9”

Since the selection was cut short in March, bad news has followed one another for Spalletti’s Napoli. They lost Osimhen, one of their stars, due to a muscle problem with Nigeria and Gio Simeone a few days ago., during the victory at Lecce. Although they dominated their third Scudetto, the goal now was to win the Champions League for the first time. For a team not used to winning, a dream is a license they can take. Raspadori will act like a false nine and all eyes, as usual, will be on Kvaratskhelia.

Meanwhile, Milan arrives with everything. They even brought Pierre Kalulu back… even though he’s not expected to start. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, of course, is low … But the Swede was not on the February list. Brahim Diaz aims to start and star, as he was against Tottenham.

This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season. And they are. In the first leg of Serie A, Napoli stormed the San Siro (1-2); In the second leg, a few days ago, Milan crushed Maradona (0-4). By the way, all matches without Osimhen. We’ll see if he returns.
