Napoli failed the mission and lost the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg game against Barcelona on Tuesday 12 March 2024 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, Spain. We started with the 1-1 draw in the first leg, Barcelona took advantage of home advantage and eliminated Napoli from the top European competition. This is a painful defeat because Napoli are living a dark period and now out of the Champions League. Barcelona reach Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, also obtaining their ninth consecutive useful result.
For Napoli, it is the first defeat of the Calzona era after five games unbeaten. With this evening’s elimination, Napoli also loses the opportunity to qualify for the 2025 Club World Cup, in which Juventus will instead participate. Tough!
Barcelona took the lead in the 15th minute. Fermín López defeated Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Raphinha.
This is not looking good! Barcelona scored a second goal in less than 2 minutes after the first one! In the 17th minute, João Cancelo scored with a right-footed shot to the center following a fast break.
