AC Milan edged their Italian opponents 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal and turn their focus to Tuesday’s follow-up.
Ismail Bennacer was the sole goal scorer in the match and Napoli have to stage a comeback to keep their hopes alive.
Napoli come into the game on the back of a barren draw against Verona in the Serie A but still lead the standings with 75 points.
Milan on the other hand are in fourth place with 53 points and were also held 1-1 by Bologna over the weekend.
This is the first time since 2012 that AC Milan have reached this stage of the competition and a win here can keep their dream alive.
Milan have won only one of their last nine home games against Napoli, with their only such victory during this period coming in the 2019 Coppa Italia quarters.
Though the hosts convincingly beat Napoli 4-0 away from home in the Serie A earlier this month and are hoping to replicate the resounding win.
The visitors find solace in the fact that Milan have won just four of their 16 most recent Champions League knockout matches, failing to score in 10.
Can the Serie A leaders bounce back and get a home win here to take them into the semis of the competition for the first time?
