Great job by the Italian teams. 0 goals were conceded in this round between EL & Cl last 16. Nazio had to be a negative mark though.
What does that make Lazio if they can’t pass the round of 16? 😂 pic.twitter.com/AcWoBLSUt7— Lupo (@LupoTVofficial) March 16, 2023

Cant have a luckier draw than that. Bayern, Chelsea, City & Real are on one side. The Italian with Benfica on the other. Guarantees the Italian team in the final, unless Benfica pulls a surprise. We also got lucky in EL draw, Juve-United-Sevilla on the other side.
Napoli plays Milan 3 times in 17 days! Napoli v Milan 2 April 2023 Naples Serie A Milano 11/12 aprile 2023, ore 21:00 CET Quarti di finale - Andata Milan – Napoli Stadio Giuseppe Meazza Napoli 18/19 aprile 2023, ore 21:00 CET Quarti di finale - Ritorno Napoli – Milan Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
Normally dislike Italian teams having to play each other, but that actually works out pretty well to get one of them in the final. Benfica is definitely capable of beating the Milan teams though.
Good luck to Roma against feyrnoord. Hopefully Mourinho goes full catenaccio which the dutch really hate
