The draw for the Europa League quarter-finals took place yesterday and it was established that AC Milan will face Roma. A Euroderby, as the newspapers have decided to call it, and the Rossoneri now dream of reaching the final.
Milan were drawn first by Fernando Llorente and got their compatriots Roma, also ending up on the same side of the knockout tree as Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham. This means that the Rossoneri could only get Liverpool in the final, which would be something.
Atalanta, meanwhile, will take on the Reds in the quarters and it remains to be seen how Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will handle that. In any case, today’s newspapers had a few headlines for the draw on the front pages, which we have compiled and translated below.
