Milanese Football's European Comeback

Speaker
It's going to be absolutely fantastic. Many of us thought we'd never see this day again where Milanese football was at the top of European football.

The following is a clip from this week's Italian football

I met a city derby in the Champions League semi-final for the second time this millennium. The third time this millennium they play in the knockouts, they face each other in the knockout stages of

of Europe's top competition. It's unbelievable. And they've both done it with squads that aren't really at that level, I'd argue. And it's a bit of an overachievement, and that makes it even more sweeter, in my opinion. But it's going to be an incredible occasion. The city of Milan will just be completely obsessed with football for about seven days. And it's a unique experience that

When it happens, you remember it for the rest of your life, no matter how the games actually end.
Why is Napoli Absent from the Semi-Finals?
00:01:15
Speaker
But one team that won't be there is on Napoli. What went wrong, Carlo, for Napoli? I think three major reasons Napoli are out. Number one, they've run out of steam here at the wrong part of the season. You've seen their last five games. They've only got one win. They've gone three games without scoring in that. They've just lost form and they've lost

Speaker
physical condition and they started to fatigue. They're also naive in this tie. We saw the goal that they conceded in the first leg, but also the goal they conceded in the second leg. They showed naivety and lack of experience.
00:01:54
Speaker
And the third reason, I have to blame the Napoli Ultras for that crazy protest they did before the 4-0 defeat. They completely sabotaged Napoli season. And you look at Napoli, since that 4-0, they've totally fallen apart. So all the Napoli Ultras, well done.
