Milan, an important success for a place in the Champions League – Napoli, the second failure in the last 4 stages

The Italian champions showed an exceptional game away from the leader “Napoli” and claim a place in the UEFA Champions League.

Stefano Pioli’s team dominated the opponent and scored no less than 4 goals against Meret.

Rafael Leao opened the scoring for the champions (17th minute) and Brahim Diaz made it 2-0 with a goal in the 25th minute.

The second half was even more spectacular, and the visitors scored twice more.

Rafael Leao made it a double in the 59th minute with a direct shot on goal, while Alexis Salemakers also scored after a dribble (67th minute).

Champion Milan could still score, but Meret made a great save against Salemakers’ shots.
