Scoring the first goal thanks to 20-year-old Fermin Lopez, Barcelona used this advantage very well. After Lewandowski's last goal, Napoli's hopes were already over. It was good for Barcelona to pass the round, but who they will match with in the next round will be important for the UCL. Barcelona may rotate in the league for those 2 matches.
At least the victory against Napoli proves that Barcelona still has the enthusiasm to play and is capable of fighting a team as strong as Napoli. Fortunately, Robert Lewandowski managed to score the final goal in the 83rd minute which meant that Napoli could no longer chase victory because the points were too far away. In La Liga, Barcelona still has the potential to take first place by getting three wins in the upcoming matches.
They really made the best use of the home game they had and of course this victory was quite an impressive victory because Napoli seemed unable to follow or keep up with the game dominated by Barcelona.
3 - 1 was the final result of this match and Lewandowski still plays role as player who can be the most dominant contributor for Barcelona, but in the future they will face much more difficult match.
Napoli are eliminated and Barcelona will advance to the last 8 by facing much stronger team, I not sure Barcelona will be able to survive the last 8 so it is very likely that the last 8 is Barcelona last place in the UCL competition this season.
They are in an impossible condition, there are several obstacles that occur such as player crisis and of course this has big influence on Barcelona development in completing competition in every competition.
For La Liga alone, they only have the chance to become runners-up if they succeed in overthrowing Girona.
Yes, of course Barcelona can easily beat Napoli with a bad performance. In fact, I see that Napoli really has difficulty competing against Barcelona, even though Napoli dominates possession of the ball, but actually Barcelona has greater control of the attack.
Barcelona didn't attack very often but every time Napoli made a mistake, Barcelona troops attacked very aggressively and produced 3 winning scores to qualify.
A pretty good result of getting 3 points with the existing players and talking about whether Barca will be successful or not in the last 8, it all depends on who the opponent will be and if Barca gets against Inter or another strong club I'm sure Barca chances are very small but if they get against Arsenal or Dortmund may still have hope even though the chances are very small.
This all happened because Napoli is a team that is currently experiencing a very significant decline, they have quite complicated problems regarding the coach and this is one of the reasons why Napoli is having difficulty in having consistent and stable performance.
Moreover, even though the conditions can be said to be bad, Barcelona still has several advantages, such as the quality of the front line, so this is an advantage that allows Barcelona to easily beat Napoli.
Indeed, in this match Barcelona was able to take advantage of certain conditions and situations when Napoli made mistakes and seeing how they played shows that they are determined to stay in the UCL competition.
And in the future, even though being able to qualify for the round of 8 will make Barcelona experience a much more difficult situation, the competition in the round of 8 will be much tougher because if Barcelona meets a team that is much stronger it could knock them out.
But let's just see whether Barcelona can survive and qualify again in the round of 8 or not and of course I myself have doubts about this.
