AC Milan defeat 'Osimhen-less' Napoli 1-0 in Champions League quarterfinal first leg

Napoli suffered a narrow defeat at the San Siro, their second defeat in a row against AC Milan without their star striker Victor Osimhen. On Wednesday night, April 12, 2023, AC Milan hosted Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League quarter final. The visitors, who are currently leading the Serie A title race, were hoping to get one over the defending Scudetto champions in Europe after being defeated 4-0 in the league two weekends ago. However, Luciano Spalletti's men were forced to learn the hard way once more as Ismael Bennacer's strike in the 40th minute of the first half proved to be the deciding factor in Napoli's 1-0 loss to Milan.
