Napoli, who lost in the first leg (1-0), receives AC Milan at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium on Tuesday April 18, 2023 at 9 p.m. If Luciano Spalletti’s players have lost only twice on their lawn this season, the 4-0 inflicted by the Milanese in Campania, at the beginning of April, is still in everyone’s memory. But Victor Osimhen was not there, any more than in the first leg, and the presence of the Nigerian striker changes everything for the Serie A leader, who will rely more than ever on his top scorer.

For Milan, the opportunity to return to the semi-finals of the Champions League has never been so good since the 2011-2012 season, and a double confrontation lost against Barcelona. With a goal lead, Olivier Giroud’s teammates can settle for a draw to reach the last four. A match to follow live with commentary.
