Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 71 points and a positive goal difference of +48
AC Milan, 4th position with 48 points and a positive goal difference of +8
The big clash between Napoli and AC Milan is all RED AND BLACK in the Serie A Week 28 game on Sunday 2 April 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. The victory relaunches Milan and takes them to 51 points in third place +1 over Inter. Napoli remain with 71 points but with a large margin, +16, on the second place now occupied by Lazio. Milan crushed, humiliated Napoli at the Maradona without conceding a goal.
Surely, AC Milan passed “this test” with flying colors ahead of their next Champions League Quarterfinals match. This is the second time in the history of Serie A that Napoli and Milan face each other with a gap in favor of the Campania region greater than 15 points in the standings (23 in this case), the other dates back to 15 April 2018, with Napoli having 25 points more than the Rossoneri before the match (0-0 at the Meazza ended that match).
AC Milan opened the score with a brilliant goal by Rafael Leão defeating Napoli goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Brahim Díaz

✅ Stats before the game. This is the match number 150 in Serie A between Napoli and Milan: AC Milan have won only two of the last 16 league encounters against Napoli (D5, L9), but the two victories came during the last five games (L3). Milan have won both of their last two away games against Napoli in Serie A and only once have they achieved three consecutive wins at the Campania side in the top tournament: in the period between 1948 and 1951. It’s been since the 1989/90 season that Napoli and Milan – who will also face each other in the Champions League – haven’t faced each other at least four times in the same year: in that case the Azzurri won their first league match and then recorded a draw and two defeats in the other three between Serie A and Coppa Italia. Napoli is the team that has been waiting for the draw in Serie A for the longest time among those present in this championship: 23 games (W21, L2); only Bochum (one) has collected fewer draws than Campania (two) in the major five European tournaments 22/23.
Lineup NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Mário Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zieliński; Politano, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia.
Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjær, Tomori, Hernández; Bennacer, Tonali; Díaz, Krunić, Leão; Giroud.
