Champions League
Luciano Spalletti: “I would rather not face the Italian team”
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti made a statement about the results of the draw in the Champions League. In the quarter-finals, the Neapolitans will face AC Milan.
“I’d rather not face the Italian team. I’ve already heard some talk. Only people who are incapable of football say it’s a good draw because Milan feels at home in the Champions League – they have won the tournament seven times and are second only to Real Madrid. Needless to say, their director Paolo Maldini single-handedly took the trophy five times.
I’ve been reading for the last few days that other teams like PSG and Manchester City have had a hard time going all the way as they haven’t had any European experience. “If what they wrote is true, it should be said that Milan are the Champions League favourites,” Spalletti said.
The first match between the teams will be played on 12 April in Milan, and the second leg will be played on 18 April in Naples.
