KEY MATCHES

Napoli v AC Milan is scheduled for after the international break in April. 15 years ago, during Allegri's first stint at AC Milan, his side faced a crucial showdown against Inter on April 2, 2011, right after the March international break. Now, the focus turns to Napoli v AC Milan on 6 April 2026 in Allegri's second spell at AC Milan. April has often been the month for some of the most intense Napoli v AC Milan fixtures, most recently in 2023, when the two sides faced each other three times in less than twenty days across Serie A and the Champions League. This year's encounter is decisive, with implications not just for AC Milan and Napoli, but also for league leaders Inter. April 2023 brought its own trio of high-stakes battles, each one vital. It was a 'trilogy' that defined the season for both teams. 

On 2 April 2023, despite Napoli dominating the league race, AC Milan handed Napoli a heavy defeat at the Maradona, with Leão scoring a brace and Brahim Díaz and Saelemaekers also getting onto the scoresheet. Ten days later, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at San Siro, the Rossoneri secured a win thanks to Bennacer's goal. A week later, on 18 April, AC Milan sealed their semi-final spot with a draw at the Maradona. April has also featured other iconic moments: on 26 April 1987, Napoli beat AC Milan 2-1 in a league clash that proved pivotal on the way to their first-ever Scudetto. Maradona stole the show as he had the final say in the 2-0 win after Carnevale's opener, leaving Virdis' late strike for AC Milan as minor consolation.
