Barcelona and Napoli, who are forever linked by Diego Maradona, met last month at the stadium that now bears his name after both making an unconvincing run through the Champions League’s autumn group stage.
Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski turned back the clock to produce a fine finish as the hour mark approached, moving within seven goals of a century in Europe’s top club competition, before the hosts’ main marksman Victor Osimhen leveled matters on 75 minutes, in his first appearance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. Though Lewandowski’s 12th goal in as many Champions League knockout games was insufficient to give Xavi’s side a crucial first-leg lead, they will be level heading into this week’s return game at home.
Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo; Gundogan, Christensen, Lopez; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Meanwhile, Napoli has a history of failing to recover from first-leg defeats in UEFA competition, having been eliminated the previous 11 times they failed to take a lead into an away leg.
The Serie A champions, who were quarter-finalists last year, have failed to light up the Champions League this season, with Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri both failing to adequately replace Scudetto-winning coach Luciano Spalletti, and they finished second in Group C.
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Traore; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Not only have they had a more consistent run of results – and should have won the first leg – but they have done so in the face of adversity, with several squad members absent due to injury.
Having claimed numerous La Liga points with goals scored after the 70th minute, even if improving Napoli find the net at Montjuic, the Blaugrana can rely on such spirit to get them over the line and into the Champions League quarter-finals.
