STATISTICS AND FUN FACTS
This will be the first time AC Milan and Napoli will have faced each other in a European competition. AC Milan have only ever lost once against Italian opposition in nine European fixtures (0-2 v Parma in the second leg of the European Supercup Final in 1993) and have kept a clean sheet on six occassions, letting in a total of four goals and scoring ten.
THE WORDS OF FREDERIC MASSARA
"We are among the best eight sides in Europe and the games and teams in the quarter-finals are all of the highest level. It'll be a very exciting game against Napoli, one that we'll go into with confidence, and we'll have to play exceptionally well. Three games in 20 days won't help, but it'll be the same for both sides.. We welcome this draw openly and hope to be part of two great games, because AC Milan and Napoli have both shown they are capable of playing top-class football".
