After the draw for the quarterfinals, Napoli, Milan and Inter are on the same side of the bracket and have a 75% chance of fielding an Italian in the final
On the morning of this Friday, the 17th, napoli, Milan It is Inter Milan were on the same side of the bracket in the Champions League quarter-finals. After the draw, the Italians knew the way to a possible final and were ‘favoured’. Because of the bracketing, teams have a 75% chance of placing the Italy in the final of the tournament.
It is worth noting that the feat would break a historic taboo in the Champions League. Since the 2016/2017 season, Italy has not had a representative in the final. On the occasion, the Juventus reached the decision, but was defeated by the Real Madrid. In addition, the title drought of the Italians is even longer and could end this European season.
The last title of an Italian team in the Champions League happened in the 2009/2010 season. That year, Inter Milan had a phenomenal squad to win the Bayern Munchen in the big decision. Faced with the two taboos, Napoli, Milan and Inter dream of qualifying in the quarterfinals to guarantee a team from the country in the final of the competition.
While Napoli are trying to reach their first ever semi-final, Milan are looking to add to their enviable list of Champions League titles. In all, the team has seven trophies and is the second biggest champion in the history of the tournament. To close, Inter has also won the maximum glory, but in fewer opportunities (three times).
At this point in the season, Napoli arrives as favorites among all Italians. However, Milan’s tradition may hinder the Neapolitan team’s plans. It should be noted that both will face each other in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. On the same side of the bracket, Inter Milan are trying to recover their best phase to eliminate Benfica.
