Napoli and Barça drew this Wednesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (1-1).

In the midst of a crisis in Serie A, flanked by a new coach, Napoli was able to resist FC Barcelona this Wednesday in the eighth first leg of the Champions League. In front of their public, the Neapolitans held on to the Catalans who were certainly dominant but too timid in the last gesture to claim better than a draw (1-1).

Appearing on his legs today, Robert Lewandowski solidified the visitors’ initial control of the match by finding the fault on the hour mark (0-1, 60e). A short-lived advantage, however, since the Partenopei responded a quarter of an hour later, through the essential Victor Osimhen (1-1, 75e).

Everything will therefore be decided on March 12 between the two teams. At Camp Nou. Until then, with Francesco Calzona at the helm, Napoli will try to regain color. For Barça, in La Liga, the recovery has already begun. To confirm.
