Italy restores "dominance", 5 Serie A clubs reach the European semi-finals

2023-04-21 14:03:35, Sport CNA

The European competitions have entered their "hottest" phase and apparently the Italian clubs have returned their "dominance" in Europe, which the "old continent" lacked for a long time, as of the 12 teams that have reached the semi-finals of Champions, Europa and Conference League, 5 of them are Italian, more than any other country.

Thus, in the Champions League we have an entirely "Milanese" semi-final, with Milan and Inter who will meet in the famous "Derby della Madonnina", this duel that was missing in European competitions since the semi-final of the Champions League in 2002-2003, with the "reds" of Milan who raised the "Veshllapusha" in the air that year.

After the teams from Milan in the Champions League, we have Juventus and Roma in the Europa League, with the teams that will face Sevilla and Bayer Leverkusen respectively, with the hope that in the "Puskas Arena" of Budapest, the final will be "spoken" in Italian. However, it does not end there as Fiorentina is also in the competition, with the "viols" of Florence who are seen as the main contenders to triumph in the Conference League, as in the semi-finals they will face the Swiss from Basel, where they are active and " legionnaire", Taulant Xhaka.

On the other hand, the 2nd and 3rd place in terms of the "race" of who has more teams in Europe is held by Spain and England, with the "Iberians" already represented in European competitions only by the "padrons". Real Madrid's "galacticos" remained in the Champions League, who are the record holders of the competition with a total of 14 trophies won, while Sevilla remained in the Europa League, who are also the record holders of the competition with 6 trophies won.

England is represented by Manchester City in the Champions League and West Ham in the Conference League, teams that entered the list of main contenders to win the respective competitions.

Meanwhile, the last countries with the most participants are Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, countries represented respectively by Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League and Basel and AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League.
