Tomori ‘really happy’ as AC Milan draw at Napoli to reach Champions League semis

Fikayo Tomori says AC Milan deserve to be in the Champions League semifinals after their 1-1 draw at Napoli.

The result saw Milan advance 2-1 on aggregate. Olivier Giroud put Milan ahead before Victor Osimhen’s late equaliser.

Tomori gave away a penalty after Giroud’s goal for handball, but Mike Maignan saved Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s spotkick.

Tomori later said: “Apart from the end when we conceded, we controlled the game. I think we deserve to be in the semi-final. We looked dangerous on the counter-attack.

“Really happy. Now we can stit back and watch the game [Inter v Benfica] tomorrow. The way I’m feeling now, I’ll be watching with my legs up. I’m so tired. We’re just worrying about ourselves. We can be relaxed and wait to see who we play. It could be Inter which would be a nice semi-final but Benfica are a strong team.

“We put in such a huge shift. Right at the end we just lost our man. It was a split-second we didn’t manage to cover all the spaces.

“If someone told us we’d not keep a clean sheet but still go through we’d have taken it.

“Last year we won the league but didn’t do as well in the Champions League. This year we aren’t doing as well in the league but are having a really good season in the Champions League.

“A lot of people wrote us off when the quarter-final draw was made. Of course we have a lot of confidence now. We’re playing well lately. Hopefully we can keep it going.”
