&lt;p&gt;It’s a game that is certain to go down in history. This evening,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;play the second leg of the first-ever European tie between the two sides. One of the two Italian teams will go through to the semi-finals, continuing their road to Istanbul. In the other game tonight, Chelsea host&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Carlo Ancelotti’s&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Real Madrid in the other half of the tournament bracket.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both home teams will have to overturn a first-leg defeat, though the Blues will need to win by three goals. The game at the Maradona, meanwhile, will be much more open given that a one-goal lead on the night for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;would take the tie to extra time and the Partenopei would go through if they win by two goals or more. Should it end in a draw or a win for the Rossoneri on the night,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Pioli’s&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;men would make it to the semi-finals, where they could take on&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;who take a two-goal lead over&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Benfica&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;into their second leg at San Siro tomorrow night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bennacer&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;got the all-important goal in the first leg at San Siro – his first in the Champions League – to give the Rossoneri a lead to defend. AC Milan haven’t conceded in their last five games in European and a sixth straight clean sheet would be enough for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Stefano Pioli’s&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;side to go through.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/643e4c11/sito2.png&#34; alt=&#34;sito2.png&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan haven’t conceded in 506 minutes of football in the Champions League, scored by&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Aubameyang&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the 34th minute of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan vs. Chelsea&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the group stage. On the other hand,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;, who have&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Victor Osimhen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;back after he missed the first leg, have scored 25 goals in the competition this season (the best attack alongside&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Manchester City&lt;/strong&gt;). Furthermore, the Partenopei have only twice failed to score in the current Champions League campaign: in their two defeats, against&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Liverpool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the 173rd meeting between the two sides in all competitions. The record to date reads 69 wins for the Rossoneri, 51 for the Partenopei and 52 draws. The away side has won all of the last five games in Serie A TIM between the two teams. We have to go back to 25 August 2018 for the last victory for the home side in the fixture, when&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;beat&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;3-2 in Fuorigrotta on matchday 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More in general, this is the 30th meeting in the Champions League of two sides from the same domestic league, the first since Chelsea beat Manchester City in the final in 2021.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;have been involved in all three of the previous all-Italian affairs, twice going through at the expense of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(in the semis in 2002/03 and the quarters in 2004/05) and beating&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;on penalties in the final in 2003.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/643e4c2c/sito1.png&#34; alt=&#34;sito1.png&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the topic of penalties… Should&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Spalletti’s&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;men win by one goal, the game could go all the way to a penalty shoot-out. In their three European shoot-outs to date,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;won 4-3 against&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Sporting CP&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the first round of the UEFA Cup 1989/90 but lost 4-3 to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Toulouse&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the first round of the 1986/87 UEFA Cup and 5-3 to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Spartak Moskva&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the second round of the 1990/91 Cup Winners’ Cup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan, who were knocked out by&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2011/12 when the last reached the quarter-final stage, have won five out of their six European penalty shoot-outs. Their only defeat was in the final against&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Liverpool&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2004/05. Their most recent victory on penalties was in qualifying for the 2020/21 Europa League when they beat&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Rio Ave&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;9-8.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
