Barcelona managed to make the fans present at the stadium smile broadly because they managed to make changes to the game for the better and succeeded in securing the step to advance to the next round. In my opinion, Napoli have experienced quite a rapid decline in their performance, both in terms of defense and attack, where Napoli no longer have an accurate balance in their game.

So for Barcelona they have shown their focus on the Champions League where they are no longer focused on LaLiga after being far behind Real Madrid. Apart from that, Xavi has information circulating that he will still leave Barcelona even though Barcelona can reach the final of the Champions League this season.

Napoli could not be saved from decline even though they had changed managers several times, in the end they were eliminated by Barcelona who played more effectively even though they were not dominant in possession of the ball. Regarding Xavi, perhaps his decision is final, he feels it is time to leave after this challenging season. Apart from that, Xavi is a genius coach, he can make Barcelona, which is experiencing a series of difficulties, still appear stable and not fall as far as Napoli.

It has been around three times napoli changed its coaches and nothing improved from the performance of the club. It keeps getting stuck in the same place. Napoli was not a strong opponent for barceloan. Intermilan is still remain the only candidate from italian league while majority of big clubs have already eliminated since the group stage.
Barcelona was fully offensive in this gme unlike the first match which was happening away. Barcelona play structuredly by having very clear pattern. Napoli was always defending from barcelona's attack but since napoli rarely had quality defenders and it can be conceded three goals.
Even Lamine Yamal, a young star from Barcelona, was able to score in this game. It's a shame for the club that Napoli didn't even give a good result against Barcelona. Calzona was totally implementing stupid strategy. I don't know what's wrong with the coaches these days.
Picking calzona is another blunder from napoli. I was expecting napoli's president to find a relaceent for calzona at the end of season. Napoli was leaving for the competition after barcelona beat it with quite big rscores at home.
I like the way Barcelona always confused Napoli's defenders. Even Lamine Yamal scored in this game after he did beautiful dribbling.
