Klopp suffers
With Jürgen Klopp, the sting of the final defeat of 2022 (0: 1) is still deep. At the press conference ahead of the clash with Real Madrid, the Reds coach commented on last year’s game: “I didn’t look at it again until the weekend and I immediately realized why I hadn’t looked at it for so long. It was torture because we played well and could have won.” Accordingly, the ‘Mirror’ and the ‘Daily Express’ titled “Real Agony”.
Italian trio in the CL quarterfinals?
With the 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan has created a good starting position for the round of 16 second leg of the premier class. Inter Milan and SSC Napoli want to follow suit. The last time there were three Italian teams in the last eight was in 2006 – at that time it was Juventus instead of Naples. The ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ is already dreaming of it “our trophy”. While Inter play FC Porto tomorrow, Napoli visit Eintracht Frankfurt today (both 9 p.m.). “The Scream of Napoli” is the headline of the ‘Corriere dello Sport’.
