Costacurta discusses ‘huge difference’ between Napoli and ‘anxious’ Milan

AC Milan will take on Napoli this evening and are considered the underdogs, having struggled big time in 2023. In fact, Alessandro Costacurta believes there is a huge difference between the two. 

In 2023, the Rossoneri have won just four league games and now find themselves fighting for a spot in the top four. Napoli, meanwhile, have more or less secured the Scudetto already and will be a lot more confident tonight.

Speaking to Sky Italia, as cited by SempreMilan.it, Milan legend Billy Costacurta shared his thoughts on the game tonight. He stated that there is a ‘huge difference’ between the two sides as Milan are anxious.

“There is a huge difference: Napoli are a wonderful, healthy and beautiful group. Milan, on the other hand, are struggling and qualification for next season’s Champions League is looking more and more difficult. And that makes a team anxious,” he stated.

Tonight’s game is not only important for the league standings, but also for the upcoming two encounters in the Champions League quarter-finals. Whoever wins tonight will clearly have a mental advantage ahead of the tie, even if those two games will be very different.
