What do you mean, it's not as expected? I mean both teams have had some lackluster rallies this season and a draw is probably a very fair result for both teams. Apart from that, the second leg will be more interesting because Napoli status as a visiting team means they have to perform better if they want to win. Teams from Serie A often provide obstacles to teams from Laliga representatives so it is not surprising that the second leg match will be full of surprises. Indeed, Napoli is not very strong this season, but if Osimhen is again wild in scoring goals, it is possible that Barcelona will fall in the round of 16.

I still support Barcelona to win the second leg but because their performance is less stable, I doubt they will be able to finish the second leg easily. Lewandowksi is our hope because he is one of the players who is full of experience in the Champions League and I hope he can find his sharpness to score goals and give us victory.

Weren't they strong team last season, both of them were champions in their respective competitions and of course they will show good game but we all saw that their game was really not as good as expected.
Draw clearly made everyone feel unsatisfied in watching it, if the draw was with big score like 3 - 3 or 4 - 4 then this was fierce match but their draw was only 1 - 1.
But it cannot be denied that both of them performed with almost equal performance in possession of the ball and also opportunities in the attacks they carried out, Barcelona was superior in the attacking game but they failed to gain the advantage.

In the second leg match, Barcelona will be the favorite because in the home match.
So far Barcelona has only relied on Lewandowski as player who looks very competitive and of course this is one of Barcelona weaknesses in winning.
They don't have players who can become goal machines who can make many contributions to achieve victory.
If there is player other than Lewandowski who can play very well up front then it is clear that making Barcelona as favorites is the right choice but in their current condition I really have doubts about Barcelona.
