Barcelona host Napoli in the UEFA Champions League

CAIRO-8 August 2020: Barcelona host Napoli on Saturday night at Camp Nou in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg. 

 

The first leg in Italy ended with a 1_1 draw and the second leg, which was scheduled to be played in March and postponed amid coronavirus pandemic, will decide the winner of the tie.

 

Barcelona, led by Quique Setién, aim to rescue their season and bounce back from the domestic failure. While Napoli's target is to book their place in the competition's quarter-finals for the first time in the history. 

 

"We certainly want to write an important page in our history, we know if we want to compete against Barcelona we will have to take risks." Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso said. 

 

The winner will face the winner between Bayern Munich and Chelsea who will face off tonight in Munich. 

 

Napoli's dreams are facing a tough challenge against the competition's expert Lionel Messi, who has been directly involved in 11 goals in his last five home Champions League knockout matches at Camp Nou. 

 

The game starts on 9:00 pm.
