They should play them in Lisbon from the semis imo. How is it fair that the first leg one team played at home now the 2nd leg is in Lisbon.

Isn't our pitch dimensions/shape different to most other stadiums or is that just the camera angle? I thought ours was wider. If this pitch isn't the same then there's absolutely zero advantage for us and Napoli away goals should be scrapped.

True. It's very unfair situation. I wonder how they are going to solve this. It's certainly not away match for Napoli, so.. kinda bullshit. It's neutral venue now.

How are they going to do City Vs Real? Same issue. Real could have much better chance to go through.

Napoli would say that they have to play at a neutral venue but without chance of away goal so not really fair on them either.

Nothing will change the second leg will be played as home leg for Barca and teams will have to deal with it.

Worst thing Barca could do is start bitching about it and lose focus.

Barca at least should be given control of pitch - dimensions, grass, watered grass etc.

The Barca - Napoli return leg will be played at the Camp Nou, unlike contrary reports claiming it would be played in Lisbon. [l'equipe via md]

Good, with or without fans, Camp Nou has a scare factor in Europe like no other stadium. It's actually quite incredible how we don't lose here for 7 years. Last time we lost in Europe on Camp Nou a kid was born and now this kid goes to school and we still don't lose a game. :lol:

Reuters says the return legs will be played normally and that the final 8 teams remaining will play a tournament in Portugal in a one leg system and all will be made official tomorrrow.
