The first leg was supposed to be a momentum for victory, Napoli actually conceded first even though in the end they were able to make the score equal again. In fact, Barcelona was also not at its best, but due to Francesco Calzona lack of experience, Barcelona was able to dominate the match. Barcelona's improving form will make it increasingly difficult for Napoli to play in the second leg. Barcelona is starting to find sharpness and will take advantage of the match held at Camp Nou to reach the next phase.
In the second leg, the game will be even more exciting because the two teams drew in the first leg, which makes both teams target victory to qualify for the next round. Apart from that, I think Napoli are increasingly enthusiastic about turning over a new chapter after Calzona was appointed as their new coach. Even though Calzona still has minimal experience in the Champions League, I admit that he has players who have experience so that will help him to provide a surprise when they visit Barcelona headquarters.

Apart from that, Barcelona, ​​which has succeeded in showing its consistency in Laliga recently, has made them very ready for this second leg. Xavi troops must be able to take advantage of support from supporters in the second leg because to beat Napoli you need efficient tactics because Napoli are so consistent when they play matches in the Champions League. Maybe the second leg match will also end in a draw and the match will continue to the penalty round.
even though currently the two teams seem evenly matched, believe it or not, Barcelona will qualify.
I said about the fact that we have to look more deeply, namely, if these two teams have a balanced performance, Napoli should be far superior in the first leg match when they host because when they host, Napoli players will usually be stronger in terms of performance, but the fact is that Napoli only able to score 1 aggregate score while Barcelona who are playing away can be able to score 1 score while playing away usually a team will experience a mental decline because the Napoli fans will continue to try to put pressure on the Barcelona players but look at Barcelona who are very experienced so they are able to hold a draw the match.

from the explanation I said, this is one of the reasons why Barcelona is superior to qualify for the next round even though Gavi cannot appear in the second leg, but Felix and Lewandowski will be important players who will beat Napoli.
I'm not belittling or judging Napoli as weak, but I'm just saying my opinion, what I see is the difference between the two teams, even though they have Osimhen, but do you believe that the coach here is also very influential, whereas the current Napoli coach doesn't have any experience in the UCL, as you said.

second prediction is that if it ends in a draw and goes into the penalty round, Barcelona will also be superior.
