Naples
Champions League
The azulón team is the great sensation in Europe and in Serie A this season. Leader of the league and 18 points behind second-placed Inter Milan, Napoli have a chance to lift the ‘Scudetto’ again after more than 30 years. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Luciano Spalletti’s team proved more than ready for the challenge, after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt in the gutter, with a 0-2 win in Germany and a final 3-0 win at Diego Armando Stadium of Maradona. Possibly the great favorite to reach the finals of the Champions League.

Milan
Champions League
The Italian giant is back better than ever in Europe’s top competition. Stefano Pioli’s students managed to knock out a full Tottenham in the round of 16 of the competition, after making a 1-0 achievement in the first leg played at San Siro. It should be noted that the ‘rossonero’ group is the most successful in Europe of the six survivors, with seven ‘orejonas’. The draw provided a high-voltage cross between the Milan fans and the Neapolitans.

Inter Milan
Champions League
Another of the great Italian teams with an incredible record in Europe, with three Champions Leagues in its showcases. The ‘Nerazzurri’ team got gold against Porto after a 1-0 win in the first leg at San Siro (0-0 in the second leg). However, of the three ‘Scudetto’ representatives who continue their journey to the Champions League, it is the Milanese team that offers the most doubt. Despite this, the pairing with Benfica in the quarterfinals makes it even, where anything can happen.

Juventus

The one that until recently was the great dominator of Italian football is going through a significant sporting and institutional collapse. However, Massimiliano Allegri’s team deservedly made it to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, after defeating Nantes and Freiburg. The ‘bianconero’ team is the big favorite, along with Manchester United, to win a competition that can give Juventus fans more than necessary joy. The next challenge for Juve in the Europa League is against Sporting Lisbon.

Rome
european league
The reigning Conference League champions want to up the ante and do the same a year later in the orange competition. Mourinho’s men are among the best eight in the Europa League, after giving Imanol Aguacil’s Real Sociedad no chance in the round of 16. Feyenoord will await in the next round, in a replay of the Conference League final played last season, which ended in a 1-0 win for the Romans.
6
Fiorentina
Conference League
The only representative of the third European competition of Italy. Fiorentina want to prove once again the stamp of ‘azzurro’ printed by Roma last year, and they are on the right track. The lilac team got past Sivasspor and will face an affordable Lech Poznan to continue its dream of lifting its first European title in the modern era.
