In fact, both teams could have learned from the first leg to make a better game in the second leg, but because Barcelona was playing at home. Of course Barcelona is more favored in the second leg, but everyone also needs to see what improvements Barcelona can bring in the second leg because Napoli also has the capital to be superior in the second leg so Barcelona must be more careful in the second leg if they want to qualify for the next round.

Regarding Napoli who failed to maximize the first leg because they played at home, for me that was a normal result and there was no oddity whatsoever. Because after all, a draw is still a good result for Napoli because yes, in the predictions at least Napoli is quite doubtful and is predicted to lose . But yes, in reality Napoli managed to score an equalizer after conceding first in the 60th minute and in this way, Napoli managed to get a good result in this match. Because yes, considering Napoli's quality and performance at this moment, I don't think there is a good chance for Napoli and I am sure that Barcelona will still qualify anyway.
If Barcelona fails to anticipate Osimhen movements in the second Leg, they could be eliminated by Napoli. even though on paper Barcelona chances are quite big, Napoli are now getting an imotivational boost after changing coaches, and it is possible that the match will end in a draw and will continue with a penalty shootout.

There are several matches that must be completed first in their respective domestic Leagues, and we can see how much consistent Barcelona and Napoli are ahead of the second Leg. Another challenge that both teams may face is injury, both Xavi and Calzona must minimize this because it really affects their chances of qualifying for the quarter finals.

In reality, Barcelona has a much better history than Napoli in the Champions League, but now this can no longer be used as a reference in looking at future opportunities. I predict that the future matches will be very careful, Xavi must experiment to make his defense line more solid, it will be useless to score goals if his defense line is porous.
