The Devil knocked out the Blues after a 1:1 draw in Naples in the 2^nd leg, and we will probably see Derby della Madonnina against Inter in the ½ finals.

Olivier Giroud missed a penalty in the 22^nd minute, but even so, Milan scored the 1^st goal at the end of the 1^st half when Rafael Leao left Giroud alone against the net with his pass, and the French scored.
