In a packed Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Antonio Conte’s Napoli, in total emergency mode, hosts the always lively and well-rested Como of Cesc Fabregas in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.
For the Partenopei, with the Scudetto slipping further away, the Coppa Italia is an excellent opportunity for a trophy after already adding the Supercoppa to their cabinet. Como, on the other hand, is the dark horse of this edition.

🗣️ Manna’s words
Giovanni Manna, Napoli’s Sporting Director, spoke to Mediaset.
"Transfer market? It’s complicated and we decided to focus on young players like Giovane and Alisson Santos, who also have qualities for the future. We’re waiting for them and we’re calm. Scudetto? First of all, I would like to be able to count on the whole squad or at least with 'normal' injuries. Unfortunately, we’ve had long-term injuries: I would have liked to compete with the full squad.
The first goal was the Supercoppa and we’ve already won it, and in the Coppa Italia we want to go further. In the league, we are in line with expectations."
