I am still curious about the primary factor that allows Barcelona to perform even better than Napoli. It feels like napoli has been weakened. The current state of napoli is very different compared to the previous season. Napoli less aggressive and it doesn't have good defenders as well. It was putting napoli in very difficult condition caused by the club must be getting draw in the first leg. barcelona still owns the game till the second leg. I saw that the draw as a win for barcelona caused by it played away. Napoli needs to use the strategy that was being used by intermilan to beat barcelona. Barcelona was not that strong but napoli seemed even weaker compared to the barcelona.
This is also the main reason draw was happening in the first leg. The second leg is gonna be even more difficult, caused by barcelona has no choice other than try to create the big wall against barcelona. Napoli needs at least draw against barcelona.

It seems like you don't need to be curious because it's enough to know that Napoli's main mistake was just changing coaches 3 times in one season, whereas a team that changes coaches several times can affect the performance of its players.
From this mistake you can see that Napoli main mistake is clearly visible and for me this is very crazy because Napoli management's thinking is quite bad, too chasing something instant.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Napoli performance was bad and fortunately Napoli still had Osimhen who could still save a draw in that match.

In the second leg, I'm still quite confident that Barcelona at home will be able to beat Napoli.
The main reason is quite clear, even though they are both going through bad times, Barcelona is still better, currently retaining Xavi, who has experience in managing Barcelona in the UCL.
