CL | 1/8 Final: FC Barcelona - SSC Napoli 4-2 (agg.)

[mesiesta]

Anyone thinks that the game can be postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy? Or it's still OK in the south there?

Most likely the game will take place.

I'm Italian, till now we have more than 150 cases all in the north of the country. (but it depends on what happened tomorrow).

About the match: don't wanna bring bad luck but this Napoli should beat this Barca (don't let the ranking fool you)

Don't think Junior Firpo is a CL-quality leftback. I want to be proven wrong, but I am fully expecting Napoli to completely bomb that side.

They should beat us?!

 

[Raketa10]

It's truly unbelievable. One of the biggest clubs in the world and roster like this.

Bartomeu should be thrown out for this alone.

Well that idiot Valverde wanted a small squad and now we have smallest squad ever! Damages done by him, and approved by Barto and Abidal are now obvious more than ever.

sorry i meant could

 

[Barcilliant]

Reasons we suck in cl

Old players with no intensity
Crap defense
Outdated football. Possession in itself is not going to win football matches
Weak mentality
Weak physically. I think Vidal is the only physical beast in the squad

Napoli 3 Barca 1

This is Setiens debut cl match and it's away. Napoli have recently beaten some big guns. If we lose 0-1 or 1-2 we have a good chance of advancing.

Alot of people here underestimate Italian football. Yes, there is a lack of quality but they make up in other areas.

Wait! How is Braithwaite in that list?

He's just travelling and training with the team.

I wouldn't be surprised if the match is postponed because of the coronavirus

I don't think that a couple of good games in Serie A is a reason to think they SHOULD beat Barca. They still can beat us for sure, but we are still favorites of the tie I think.

We're in good momentum, Messi is again firing on all cylindres so we should not be intimidated by this Napoli side. They are sitting on the 6th place in Serie A and they are in poor form and lack confidence. I think this could be the beginning of our first successful away KO-round match.

 

[LFCB]

I'm going with an early Napoli goal with the usually not closing down the cross
But then we will see Messi and Griezmann at their best.

Napoli 1-3 Barca
