Join us for the build-up ahead of tonight’s NapoliMilan in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Stadio Maradona.

Last week’s San Siro meeting ended in a 1-0 win for Stefano Pioli’s men, who have beaten the Partenopei in the last three matches played in Naples.

The home side are without the suspended André Zambo-Anguissa and Kim-Min jae, while Giovanni Simeone is injured.

However, Victor Osimhen is back and will lead the Partenopei’s attack tonight. The Nigeria striker returns to action on Saturday, coming off the bench in the second half of a 0-0 draw against Hellas Verona at the Stadio Maradona.

Malick Thiaw is not fully fit for the Rossoneri. The German has travelled with the team but is not expected to start.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ciprian Tatarusanu, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Yacine Adli, Sergino Dest and Aster Vranckx are not available having been left out of Milan’s Champions League list.

This is the first time Napoli play in the Champions League quarter-finals, while the last time Milan reached the semi-finals of Europe’s elite competition was in 2006-07 when they went on to lift the trophy in a Final against Liverpool.
