Napoli close to be crowned champions of the Seria A current campaign, a tough fight and they came out victorious. Stumbling upon preeminent rivals in the league, In league games, AC Milan has strategies in place to defeat Napoli.
A shock win in Serie A when Napoli was like unstoppable gives AC Milan more confidence as well as more strategic plan to beat Napoli in Champions League. They did it in reality too and went to semi finals. Napoli have a good season in Serie A and a good one in Champions League even they had to leave it with big disappointment. Winning Serie A, taking the Scudetto is very big achievement for Napoli already. They have been waiting about 40 years for that title.
Derby Milano this season will obviously be quite good to watch because the two teams meet in the big competition of the Champions League so their motivation to play will certainly be very big because considering they are fighting to get to the final.
If you are old enough, you would have known about their derbies in Champions League in 2000s.
Milan, Inter preparing for fireworks in Champions League derby. Matches especially derbies in Serie A always have fireworks and this image is an iconic one for their clashes in Champions League 20 years ago.
But in this case, I have more confidence in AC Milan who will be able to go to the final round because after seeing the strength and performance of the two in Serie A, it seems that AC Milan is slightly stronger than Inter Milan. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Inter Milan qualified for the UCL final.
Honestly I am not sure. In Milan derby, every team can win it and form won't decide the winner but just their performance in each derby decides a winner. Furthermore, lately Inter Milan played very well in two quarter finals with Benfica. They will head toward two derby matches with AC Milan with their full confidence.
