What They're Saying

AC Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi (via Football Italia): "I hope this is Milan's moment. We have alternated excellent games to others that were not as good. I didn't think I had a magic wand. There are many other teams that are also struggling, like Napoli and Inter [Milan]. Everyone is having trouble. It takes patience, but I'm sure we will be great again."

Napoli manager Rafa Benitez (via Football Italia): "It won't be easy, but we'll try to conquer San Siro. In attack we have players who can make the difference for us. If the team plays well, nothing is impossible."
