Today’s Papers – Only Vlahovic, Champions League issues for Juve and Napoli
La Gazzetta dello Sport
Inter: Round of 16 close if they win the fourth in a row
Lautaro, you must smile
Kairat at San Siro (21:00), Chivu shakes the captain and launches Pio.
De Zerbi, what a derby, Juric under scrutiny
Only Vlahovic
Champions uphill: two draws (and one goal) for Juve and Napoli
Dusan is not enough against Sporting. The Old Lady grows, but has no wins and can make no more mistakes for the playoffs. Spalletti: ‘I’m confident.’
Conte no longer breaks through: ‘What a Catenaccio from these Germans.’
Fiorentina sit at rock bottom but are seventh for wages
Corriere dello Sport
Napoli, it gets tough
Four points in four games: The Champions League gets difficult
Only 0-0 against Frankfurt: chances for Hojlund, McTominay and Anguissa. Conte: ‘We could have won 3-0. All they did was Catenaccio.’ Now Qarabag, Benfica, Copenhagen and Chelsea
Juve play
Spalletti’s effect
They improve and entertain: the draw against Sporting doesn’t award them
Moves and quality: 1-1
Luciano’s mark is visible. Tough start and Araujo’s goal. Then Vlahovic takes centre stage. Three points in four games: they need a step forward.
Viola, Pioli out: Galloppa temporarily
On the bench against Mainz and Genoa: the team to Vanoli or Nesta. Stop to D’Aversa.
Genoa have chosen: Criscito stays
Inter, assault on Kairat. De Zerbi, derby with Dea (21:00): ‘I support Brescia.’

Golden Boy: The PSG talent triumphs, our ace is Esposito
Doué of Europe, Pio of Italy
Juve, who did you sign?
Vlahovic avoids a defeat against Sporting. The new signings flop: it gets tough in the Champions League now.
Spalletti sees the limits of the team: those who were supposed to add quality continue to disappoint. Dusan reborn, but suffers a muscle issue: ‘I’m still not in my best shape. Before I was in and out…’
Conte, European pain. Inter and Dea to the assault
Napoli are in trouble now. Chivu against Kairat for the 4th consecutive win. Juric can make no mistake against Marseille.
Ismajli’s derby: never say Juve…
That refusal to Giuntoli a year ago at Empoli. Baroni suspended: Colucci on the bench. Nkounkou recovers.
