Napoli has greater chance to win against barcelona. Barcelona was struggling to face the weak team like almeria. The financial problem gave barcelona a big burden that can't be sorted out in a short time.
Barcelona has very big debt and it can only sustain as lon as barcelona will be selling players for profit then xavi is going to use the profit raised from selling players to pay the debt. Xavi can do nothing caused by the financial pressures has forced him to seold some players soon.
Im wondering who will be the name to go out from barcelona. This is another problem that is almost impossible to be sorted out by xavi.
As an Italian fan I would like Napoli to have many chances to win, but in reality there arent many. Unfortunately, the favorite is Barcelona, even though in football you can never say anything and take anything for granted. Maybe Napoli surprises us, it would be very nice. But is only a dream.
Barcelona and Napoli still have many matches to complete at domestic level, before the match between the two takes place next february. With still a lot of time to prepare, I think many things will happen beforehand, but of course increasing the club strength and consistency is their focus going forward. It's hard to guess who will come out on top in the Barcelona versus Napoli match, because we need to wait to see how they perform before the match starts.
Currently, both Barcelona and Napoli are struggling to defend their respective trophies in the domestic league, we understand that the appearance of both clubs is currently in doubt to lead the standings. But apart from this, the UCL is a competition that demands perfect performances, if a club wants to talk a lot and go further. On the other hand, I really understand that Barcelona has a better history in the UCL than Napoli, Xavi squad mentality is clearly better. However, Napoli also have attributes that can trouble any team, I think this is a match of equal strength.
