Bitter Champions League for Italian clubs, Mourinho danger and Osimhen talk | OneFootball

Italian morning papers paint a bruising Champions League picture, with Napoli eliminated by Chelsea and play-offs looming for the rest of Serie A’s contenders.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Inter won in Dortmund through Dimarco and Diouf yet still face a play-off, with Bodo or Mourinho’s Benfica possible. Juventus were held in Monaco, with Galatasaray or Club Brugge looming. Atalanta stumbled against Union SG in Belgium, lining up Borussia or Olympiakos.

Corriere dello Sport frames it as a bitter Champions League and a triple play-off scenario, adding that Chelsea’s comeback at the Maradona sent Conte out 3-2.

Tuttosport centres on Juventus, noting tomorrow’s play-off draw, the presence of Stankovic Jr. at the Belgians and the possibility of Liverpool or Tottenham in the Round of 16. It says rotation players disappointed and that more is required both on the pitch and in the market, while posing the question over Osimhen.

The same paper also points to the day of Kolo Muani, highlights Torino uncertainty around Kumbulla and Kapuadi, and raises concerns over Bologna’s Holm situation. It flags anxiety for Gasp and says Roma are halved.
