Champions League: All the lights on the Italian civil war

All the lights on “Diego Armando Maradona”! The most ambiguous rematch of the Champions League quarter-finals takes place in the Italian South, with Naples to welcome her Milan (22:00, Cosmote Sport), wanting to overturn the 1-0 deficit of the first match.

A match that smells like… gunpowder, but also that we meet for the third time in less than a month. First, Milan went through with an emphatic 4-0 from the home of the “partenopei” for the championship, while six days ago they prevailed 1-0 in their first game for the “8”. Now, things are different, since Luciano Spalletti counting on the services of Osimen again. Of course, he will not have them at his disposal Angisa, Kim who are punished. The two managers in their teams’ recent game in Serie A where they … frolicked with Verona and Bologna, rotated extensively to keep their players fresh.

THE Naples has a record of 9-3-0 in its last 12 home games in the Champions League. This year he has 4 wins in as many matches, scoring at least 3 goals in each one. At the same time, it counts 10 consecutive European eliminations in the knockout phase having lost the first game. THE Milan have not conceded a goal in their last 5 matches in the Champions League. It is the best record since Manchester City’s seven consecutive clean sheets in the 2020-21 season.

Napoli (Luciano Spalletti): Merret – Di Lorenzo, Rahmani, Jesus, Mario Rui – Lobotka, Ndombele, Zielinski – Kvaratskelia, Osimen, Politano.

Milan (Stefano Pioli): Menian – Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez – Krunic, Tonali – Dias, Benaser, Leao – Giroud.

The team that qualifies will face one of Inter or Benfica in the semi-finals, with the Nerazzurri having won 2-0 at Da Luz in the first leg.

In the other rematch, Chelsea welcomes at “Stamford Bridge” the Real Madrid (22:00, Cosmote Sport) and has a mountain to climb to qualify. After losing 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in their first leg last Wednesday, the Londoners are looking for a two-goal win to send it to extra time or a three-goal win to qualify. Of course, Madrid are not a random team, they have the personality and quality to avoid … adventures like last year with the same opponent.

THE Chelsea continues to… torture herself and her fans in this year’s disastrous season. One defeat follows another and especially the performances are heartbreaking, while in the most recent match in the Premier League, Brighton passed London winning with a score of 2-1. At the same time, Real managed in the match against Cádiz, went 2-0 away from home and got extra psychology for today’s match.

Out for the Londoners are the suspended Chilwell, the injured Broya, Koulibaly, while Hafferts is a doubt. On behalf of Madrid, the injured Mendy is not counted.

Chelsea (Frank Lampard): Kepa – James, Tsaloba, Fofana, Koukoureja – Enzo Fernandes, Kovacic, Mount – Zijek, Felix, Mudric.

Real Madrid (Carlo Ancelotti): Courtois – Carvajal, Riedinger, Militao, Alaba – Tswameni, Kroos, Modric – Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius.

The team that will qualify will face one of Manchester City or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals with the “Citizens” having won 3-0 at “Etihad” in the first match.
