But I think Barcelona was lucky during this season of the Champions League because we know they are not in their best form and this Barcelona we currently see can definitely lose games easily against other teams. While Barcelona is also not in the form to face with stronger teams, however Napoli has players like Osimhen as you just said and since Barcelona's defenders are weak this can be dangerous.

The UEFA Champions League have become very competitive and there's presence of good fights between these elite clubs, I've spent most of my time making emphasis on these elite teams, ensuring to know the weakness and active stand of my club. La Liga club, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in for the round of 16 and I'm certainly sure Real Madrid will move to the next phase with ease actions while I'm pretty sure it won't be an easy race for the Catalans. Barcelona was not lucky, rather they worked their path through becoming one of the best competitive club in their UCL Group stage. Xavi Hernandez gathered his players and have instructed on the hugh tasks ahead of them.

I also believe that Real Madrid will go further and get through the round of 16 quite well. But regarding Barcelona I'm not sure yet. Because Barcelona does have several weaknesses and their consistency is also not very good. Player injuries also still haunt the Barcelona squad. Meanwhile, Napoli, who will be Barcelona's opponents, are actually not in their best condition this season. After Napoli left their coach last season, Spalletti. Then Garcia came and was considered a failure. And now Mazzarri has come but hasn't produced good results. Yes, there are also many doubts about the current Napoli squad. So the Barcelona vs Napoli match is very difficult for us to predict. Both have a 50:50 chance of qualifying for the next stage. But I feel that Barcelona will probably recover in the second half of the season. Their injured players will recover soon. So when the round of 16 starts, Barcelona will definitely be ready with their best performance.

Napoli are currently still inconsistent. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that Napoli will be better when the round of 16 starts. Yes, this will be an exciting match but also difficult to predict. But it will definitely be a very fun fight to watch. Unfortunately it's still a long time away. And we have to wait for that.
