Napoli coach Spalletti: AC Milan? Only the incompetent would say this a good draw

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti is unhappy with their Champions League quarterfinal against AC Milan.

Spalletti admits he didn't want to draw another Serie A club.

He said, "I would have preferred not to meet the Italians, only the incompetent speak of a good draw.

"Milan is the Champions League and only Maldini has won five. In recent days I have read that PSG and City are struggling to go all the way because they lack experience in this competition. Well, if this is true then Milan are favourites to win the final. A team that eliminated Tottenham, so we remain objective.

"Who says we're on the easy side of the board? And doesn't that apply to Inter, Milan and Benfica? We need to be balanced in evaluations. We know Milan well, a team that has overcome the moment of difficulty and now I see constant growth thanks to the skill of its coach.

"We will face a great opponent and whoever is better at reading the game on the pitch will win."
