The Champions League match between Barcelona and Napoli was a thrilling encounter that showcased the talent and skill of both teams. Barcelona emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Napoli, thanks to their impressive performance on the field.
Barcelona dominated possession throughout the match, with an impressive 65% possession compared to Napoli's 35%. They also had more shots on target, with a total of 12 shots compared to Napoli's 6. Lionel Messi was once again the star of the show, scoring two goals for Barcelona and showcasing his incredible talent.
Barcelona are safely through to their first Champions League quarter-final in four years thanks to a hard-fought 3-1 win over Napoli in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on Tuesday night. Barça made a phenomenal start, struggled mightily over the next 45 minutes of action, but finished the game strong to earn a well-deserved victory and move on to the Last Eight of Europe’s top competition.
Napoli converted its only shot on goal into a score in the first meeting with Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16. Victor Osimhen found the back of the net with an equalizer in the 75th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw in the face of a 12-6 Barcelona edge in shot attempts. But Napoli maintained an even aggregate score going into the second leg and a trip to Barcelona for a big second match.
Lamine Yamal thought he had sealed it in the second half, but the offside flag saw his tap-in ruled out, and Barca missed a flurry of further chances, as Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski all came close. But Lewandowski eventually secured victory late on, walking the ball into the net after a perfectly-assembled combination around the Napoli box.
Napoli sits in seventh place in the Italian Serie A standings with a 12-8-8 record, but hasn’t lost a match since falling to AC Milan, 1-0, on Feb. 11. On the other side, Barcelona is running third in the Spanish LaLiga standings with an 18-7-3 mark and 61 points. Robert Lewandowski, who netted the team’s lone goal in the first match against Napoli, leads Barcelona with 12 goals and six assists. Barca has had its troubles on the defensive end of the field, which is worth watching in the Napoli match.
