Napoli can match into the perfect shoes of the UCL round of 16. They have everything it takes to fight with elite teams but with their inconsistent form, things gradually breaking down for them. Barcelona are not in form, we should simply forget about the previous winnings we're witnessing, it takes only a formidable team to compete for the La Liga title and the Blaugrana are not listed among. Xavi Hernandez is doing just fine with the club and he already made a statement about him pushing through the exits door at the end of 2023/2024 La Liga campaign.
But Barcelona is still better than Napoli this season. Just look at Napoli who are still slumped in 7th place in Serie A. Meanwhile Barcelona still looks good at 3rd place in Laliga. And to stay in 3rd place in Laliga is not an easy thing. So Barcelona might be the favorite. And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, I won't be confused by this one. Because Inter Milan is currently in their best condition, even exceeding their performance last season. They also just managed to beat Juventus and put Inter Milan at the top of Serie A. And this shows that Inter Milan is better prepared to get through the round of 16. I'm sure of it.
No doubt Barcelona with their all internal issues still a good team which is having third spot in La Liga league table, and they are still having good chance for the win against Napoli which is also having issues, but their performance is also on decline which bring them to 8th spot in Serie A with their attack is also having not good performance in last few matches which is surely going to have trouble for them in coming days.
Victor Osimhen is also not available and their in last few matches they are not able to score any goal which is also problem for them with if they want to have better results then surely things can go worst for them because with their current performance and quality I am not sure whether they can jump into top six, but Barcelona is surely team which is going to have good chance for staying at the third spot and if they are going to have something improve then surely we can expect them into last four of this season as well in Champions League.
