Modric and De Bruyne meet in Serie A for the first time when AC Milan hosts Napoli
ROME: Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne have grown accustomed to facing each other in the Champions League. On Sunday at the San Siro, the two midfield standouts will have their first meeting in Serie A since their recent moves to Italy. When Modric’s AC Milan host De Bruyne’s Napoli, they will also be a showdown between two of the Italian league’s best performing teams. At age 40, Modric has helped transform Milan into a potential title challenger. De Bruyne, who is 34, has helped defending champion Napoli remain the team to beat. Napoli will be looking to extend their perfect start, while Milan will be aiming for their fifth straight win across all competitions. Modric’s move to Milan came after 13 seasons at Real Madrid.
