Robert Lewandowski gave Barça the lead in Naples with a good right-footed shot in the 60th minute from a pass from Pedri. FC Barcelona will play Napoli this Wednesday in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League, an event that the Blaugrana last played three years ago when they were eliminated by PSG 5-2 on aggregate. With the exit from the Copa del Rey and the significant delay in the league, the Champions League is the last move of this season for the team of Xavi Hernández, a coach who will leave the club at the end of the season. That is why Barça is committed to a good participation in the highest European competition, a path that must start with a positive result at the Diego Maradona Stadium. Opposite them is a struggling Napoli, who are in ninth place in Serie A and changed their coach this Monday.
