Pioli already launches the second leg: "Napoli? Nobody believes them..."

AC Milan took the lead in the quarter-finals by beating Napoli 1-0. At the end of the match, Stefano Pioli was happy with the result, but left some warnings about the opponent's growth in the second half.

"I don't think it was Napoli's desire for revenge, but more of a misreading on our part. Napoli attacked a little more in the second half, we had to defend more. Napoli could have chosen different paths in relation to the championship. But we played a serious game, with attention, quality and energy. No one believes they will be able to come back, but there is a complicated match waiting for us", he began by telling Milan TV.

Victor Osimhen's absence could have worked in AC Milan's favour. But still Pioli did not hesitate to praise the opponent's strength.
