Now the challenge is to finish the UCL in the last 16 against Barcelona, even though historically Barcelona is in superior head to head condition. but this time Napoli has a high chance of stabilizing the players, it just depends on how effective Walter Mazzarri strategy is in overcoming the Blaugrana game.
Napoli have often experienced quite significant defeats from Barcelona when they met in European matches, but I think Napoli can breathe a sigh of relief because the current Barcelona is not as strong as the Barcelona that Napoli previously faced, head to head it could be said if Barcelona is quite superior, but for Now we can see how Napoli in the last few years has become a fairly strong club in the league and is capable of becoming a champion contender, I think for the next match head to head is not a guarantee to be able to underestimate Napoli.
I cannot wait to watch this match between Barcelona and Napoli; it promises to be tough because both teams are struggling in their home leagues; Barcelona's in La Liga, and Napoli's in the serie A league. I cannot predict the outcome of this match because both teams are capable of winning; Barcelona has a wealth of players at their disposal, and if they make a mistake, Napoli will triumph.
If Napoli wins, it won't surprise me because Barcelona plays like a single, unimpressive team these days. Barcelona's most recent match in the league was a draw against Villarreal following a loss to Girona, and their most recent match against Almeria ended in a 3-2 victory due to luck. If Napoli plays with seriousness, Napoli can defeat Barcelona because their defence isn't as strong as it once was.
