Napoli ended the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 First Leg game against Barcelona with a draw on Wednesday 21 February 2024 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. Barcelona took the lead with a goal by Robert Lewandowski. Napoli reacted with the equalizer goal by Victor Osimhen.
Everything will be decided on the return leg, on Catalan soil. Surely, a fundamental challenge for two teams who, through the Champions League, want to turn the season around.
Napoli have never won a match against Barcelona in the main European competition (2D, 2L); the last meeting between the two teams dates back to the round of 16 of the 2019/20 Champions League when the Blaugrana won with an aggregate score of 4-2.
A cold shower at the Maradona. In the 60th minute, Barcelona opened the score with Robert Lewandowski defeating Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Pedri.
Napoli reacted and equalized the game in the 75th minute. Forward Victor Osimhen defeated Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Frank Anguissa.

✅ Stats before the game: Napoli have never won a match against Barcelona in the main European competition (2D, 2L); the last meeting between the two teams dates back to the round of 16 of the 2019/20 Champions League when the Blaugrana won with an aggregate score of 4-2. Barcelona won 4-2 in their last match against Napoli, in the 2021/22 Europa League playoffs. No team has scored more away goals against the Neapolitan team in a single match in European competitions (4-2 victory also for Manchester City, in November 2017). Barcelona have remained without success in their last three matches against Italian teams in the Champions League (D1, L2), recording as many defeats as they had in their previous 19 matches against this type of opponent in the competition (W11, D6, L2). Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri remained unbeaten in the five home matches played in the Champions League (W4, D1), winning the last three. This will be only the manager’s third match in the knockout phase of the competition, after the two matches in the round of 16 of the 2011/12 edition (defeated against Chelsea with an aggregate score of 5-4).
