After defeating Napoli, AC Milan climbs the European pedestal to join Juventus

With their victory over Serie A's Napoli on aggregate, AC Milan achieved a European milestone. When AC Milan defeated Napoli on aggregate in the 2022–23 quarterfinals, they tied a UEFA Champions League record. The Rossonerri survived a late scare and a penalty miss against Napoli in the only same-country tie of this year’s quarterfinal to reach a first UEFA Champions League semifinal since the 2006/07 season when they were crowned champions.
