Ahead of the game, Ancelotti, during his press conference singled out two Napoli stars who could hurt his team in the match, according to Complete Sports.

“They are very good forwards who have really broken out in the last year, they have demonstrated their quality and shown they are top-level players,” he said.

“They have amazing talent with different characteristics. Kvaratskhelia is very strong one-on-one and Osimhen is very dangerous.”
