The only couple where the intrigue is alive?

The Neapolitans achieved 33 misfortunes

Osimhen missed the first leg away against Milan. De Laurentiis hopes the Nigerian will get back on his feet for the second leg. Rossoneri in the playoffs without Zlatan. Ibrahimovic has reacted actively from the stands to the events on the pitch, but he’s not in the candidacy, nothing changes in his state of health. Giroud did not change the score on the scoreboard, and on xG Milan lost to Napoli. And this in consideration of the fact that Spalletti has found a technical eclipse.

Similar things in the playoffs Champions League to happen. The esoteric experience survived Ancelotti, giving the final to Liverpool. The eclipses happened with the mentors of Barcelona, ​​​​​​who gave the right tickets further. Guardiola made a big mistake Champions League, which resulted in the hell of winning in national championships without a new eared cup in the collection. Yesterday was Lampard’s turn. Chelsea haven’t scored for the first time in 30 years in 4 games in a row.

And Spalletti was afraid of Milan. After the Naples pogrom, it looked like an experienced mentor would turn the 0-4 defeat in his favor. But no, the coach did not put his team in the framework of an adult game, as Meignan has done now. Luciano made the mistake of abandoning the predictable game option with Raspadori instead of Osimhen. General Elmas was launched into the attack. The Macedonian in the center is useless, as is Lozano on the right.
Milan were lucky to pick up a 1-0 win

The value of moments at this level often exceeds the content of entire matches. If you don’t show Inter’s goals against Benfica, but give an account of the rest of the match, and then organize a poll, then 9 out of 10 will bet on the Portuguese to win or draw. After all, the hosts forced Inter to plow off the pressure a lot. And the score on shots on goal was 2:4 in favor of the Italians, they scored from the game and from the penalty spot.

If you scroll through the Madrid events in your memory, you will see the total lead of Real Madrid. But without a successful exit to replace Asensio, the main prankster of the story Champions League, then Ancelotti could get a modest 1-0 in the majority, igniting comeback fantasies. Boeli will now be ridiculed for his prediction after lunch with Perez, an odd bet on Chelsea’s 0-3 draw in Madrid.

“Real” regrets not defeating the Englishman. In case of an anticipated goal in London, options are possible. Furthermore, a draw in Milan was not ruled out and the team of the same name could not score once. Diaz doesn’t pass to Bennacer, but the Algerian opens successfully and shoots perfectly. The Napoli defense missed the attack, but it was one of Milan’s two shots on target at home.

The visitors had six tries. Of course, Kjær could score when he hit the ball into the goal frame, but the Rossoneri did not show an avalanche of real moments during the game for the most part. But Pioli’s starting plan certainly worked. We scored first, then the Napoli players got nervous.

For Napoli it is important to admit both defeats

Two failures in a row against Milan cannot be attributed to chance. The opponent plays clumsily and competently. The Napoli midfielders did not understand the movement of the opponents’ laterals on the semi-flanks. Angissa got two yellow cards in five minutes and will miss the decisive second leg. Ndombele will try to replace him. Politano will play on the right in attack in place of Lozano in Napoli.

But Spalletti drags himself along with the exchanges. Not even like that. I didn’t guess with the starting lineup. Kvaratskhelia was left without the usual support not before receiving the ball, but on the front line. Calabria and Hernandez have closed the wings for experience. And at the same time they chained the inclusion of opposing midfielders. Tonali and Krunic proved to be the right choice in the defensive zone. Pioli famously picked a game plan.

Diaz and Leau prevented Di Lorenzo and Rui from turning up front, even though the Napoli captain had good momentum. And Kvaratskhelia was remembered only by the fact that it was he who was demolished in a tackle. And when the game continued, Angissa got her first yellow card. Also a reference to the importance of the episodes. Resolved the foul of the referee Kovacs on Khvich, and there would be no match for Napoli in the minority.

Spalletti manages to organize a noble comeback

Guests should not make excuses for defeats on the side. The rejection against Milan, in addition to the obvious contribution of the opponent, are on the conscience of Spalletti and his players. In the championship, have they considered that since the gap from beautiful Lazio is impressive, can they relax? Furthermore, Napoli are catching up with fatigue, as are Arsenal Premier League. He’s out Champions Leagueas for a duel with Lecce.
They forgot about the implementation in the locker room, although Menyan was forced into the match. Mike made three interesting saves. In addition, the guests failed to rebuild in time in the center, so as not to have to play in Naples without key midfielder Anguiss and main central defender Kim. The South Korean has too many yellow cards. We were also lucky not to be awarded a penalty.

Lobotka was not punished after the fight with Salemakers. The Slovak pushed the opponent with his hand, but the referees considered that the Belgian himself “crossed his legs” and deliberately tried to fall into the penalty area. But after all, Milan could be lucky. He imagines that Kjaer has scored, and in the end a goal from a penalty kick. Napoli could have collected the second consecutive defeat from Pioli and relegation from the Champions League.

Let Spalletti appreciate the gift of fate. And the Rossoneri have not forgotten that there were also some gifts. In a week, let’s see if hope for a return to this couple will resurrect. Napoli still has trump cards. For example, the combinations of Rui and Kvaratskhelia, as well as Khvichi and Osimkhen have not played yet. Zelinski failed the match in Milan. Di Lorenzo didn’t let his signing pass and didn’t score.

But if Milan are so self-confident and Napoli have let their nerves down again, then in the semifinals Champions League the Milan derby arrives. The Rossoneri know how to play Champions League with the Italians. Napoli relaxed early on, although they didn’t lose their chances for the semi-finals. But it’s time to show the game for which many have fallen in love with them this season. Milan have been better and fresher so far, which brings them in line with the other Champions League winners of the week.
