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.
Head to head is only the history of meetings between the two teams in the past, now Barcelona's condition is not as strong as when they beat Napoli in the previous meeting. Napoli must take advantage of Barcelona's weaknesses to survive in the UCL. Napoli players can make Barcelona suffer this time if they are able to play solidly and have good chemistry.
Barcelona's defense is weak, the midfield is not very strong and the front line is not as sharp as last season, Napoli must exploit these weaknesses to avenge their defeat in the previous meeting. However, their chances are still 50:50, Barcelona will not let Napoli beat them easily, Xavi will try to give his best performance in order to maintain his good name after being tarnished by the bad results achieved by Barcelona in La Liga.
