Maurizio Sarri will be pleased with the draw as he has been hoping to avoid meeting his former side Napoli except in the finals. And if Chelsea and Napoli win their quarter-final and semi-final clash, the two teams will face off in the final in May.

Asked if he would want to play Napoli in the quarter finals, Sarri said: I prefer to face them in the final.

“First of all, because it means we are in the final and I am happy with that. And second, it means that Naples are in the final, and I am happy.

“You know very well my relationship with the city, with the people. So, for me, it will be very difficult to play against them in Naples.”
