DBasia.news – Inter Milan and Napoli failed to qualify for the knockout round of 2018-2019 Champions League. They got eliminated from the group qualification and finished third and degraded to the Europa League.
Thus, there are only two Italian teams in the knockout round of 2018-2019 Champions League, AS Roma and Juventus. Napoli and Inter Milan would accompany Lazio who qualified for the 32-stage of 2018-2019 Europa League and AC Milan must decide their status in the last match.
AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso regrets Napoli and Inter’s failure to qualify further in the 2018-2019 Champions League. Even though the team haven’t confirmed the status, Rhino welcomed Napoli and Inter Milan’s presence.
“It’s disappointing for Italian football,” Gennaro Gattuso said in the press conference before the decisive match against Olympiacos at Piraeus, Greece, cited by AC Milan’s official website, Thursday (13/12).
“However, the Europa League would be more exciting with the presence of Napoli and Inter, two strong teams in the 32-stage,” the 40-year-old man added.
AC Milan’s chance to make it from the Group F 2018-2019 Europa League is big. As long as they are not defeated with three goals against Olympiacos, I Rossoneri could accompany Real Betis as the group champion with head to head dominance.
