Christian Eriksen spent seven seasons with Tottenham; David Ospina played with Arsenal for four seasons. The former North London rivals faced off in Italy in the Coppa Italia semifinals on Saturday, and the result was a stunning Christian Eriksen olimpico vs Napoli that nutmegged the former Gunner.
Napoli was hosting Inter Milan for the right to face Juventus in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday. Juventus held off AC Milan on away goals on Friday. Gli Azzurri won the first leg in Milan 1-0 back on Feb. 12, but it didn’t take long for I Nerazzurri to even the series.
In just the second minute, Inter won a corner kick. Eriksen whipped in a cross (shot?) that buzzed the heads of a couple Napoli defenders before nutmegging Ospina in goal.
