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.
Most logical expectation is that it is not going to be "whoever plays better" but more like "whoever plays worse" and that's going to be the deciding factor. Both teams has been terrible so far and we think that one of them will play even worse than the other and will lose.

Normally you look at the teams and you think they will give their 100% and whoever ends up playing better will be the winner but this is not one of those games and that's why there are so many conflicting speculations about the possibility of this game. I will not bet on it, there is no need to bet on it and it feels like it is not going to make all that much sense neither. The best thing to do would be just focusing on what you can do with what you have.
