Champions League: Pioli not thinking about Milan derby after Napoli triumph

The Hindu  

Stefano Pioli said that he isn’t thinking about a potential Milan derby in the Champions League semifinals after his AC Milan team got past Napoli in the last eight on Tuesday. Whoever we get it will be a great derby and Champions League semi-final.” Milan is in the last four of the Champions League for the first time since it was last crowned kings of Europe in 2007. For many of us it was the first time that we were playing such an important match.It’s another big step forward.” Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti lamented that his team wasn’t given a penalty for Rafael Leao’s tackle on Hirving Lozano six minutes before the Portugal winger sped up the pitch to lay on Olivier Giroud’s goal which would decide the tie. Neither referee Szymon Marciniak nor the VAR officials saw anything wrong with Leao’s challenge, but Spalletti was angry at his team for not getting a spot-kick while it was only a goal behind.
