The draw is made, a clash of titans in Europe, the Italians head to head

The Champions League is expected to provide excitement and spectacle in its quarter-final and semi-final stages, as the draw yesterday determined duels as interesting as "painful" for the two Italian teams, Milan and Napoli. Thus, yesterday the draw was made in Nion, Switzerland, which determined the four quarter-finalist couples of this season in the Champions League. Real Madrid will face Chelsea, while the Gogols have shown themselves to be merciless by pitting Manchester City against Bayern. Inter are lucky, as they find Benfica, while Milan clash with Napoli. So, in the quarter-finals we will have an Italian derby. In today's draw, the semi-final pairs have also been designed: the winner of Real Madrid-Chelsea will clash with the winner of Manchester City-Bayern, while the other semi-final will be the qualifier of Inter-Benfica against the winner of Milan-Napoli. Looking at the draw, the fact that the Italians are head-to-head with each other, while City against Bayern and Real against Chelsea are undoubtedly premature finals and will receive attention in the quarter-final round and the winners of the duels in the semi-final round as well. Milan-Napoli is the all-Italian quarterfinal of the Champions League. The two teams will face off to advance further, however April will be a month that will offer this challenge three times. This is because on the 2nd, after the interruption of the championship, Milan will be a guest at "Diego Armando Maradona", to face the blue in a valuable challenge for Serie A. Obviously, a very important meeting for the red and black, who compete for a place in the Champions area, but not so much for the Neapolitans, who have a significant difference at the top of the ranking. Then will come the two matches for the Champions League, with the challenges to be played on the 11th or 12th in "San Siro" and the 18th or 19th in Naples. Three confrontations in the space of 16-17 days will, of course, produce quite a spectacle. The Neapolitans are seen as favored, based on the excellent form they are going through this season, however Spaleti himself admitted that Milan's history in the Champions League can make the difference.
