This all happened because Napoli is team that is currently experiencing 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 much more difficult situation, the competition in the round of 8 will be much tougher because if Barcelona meets team that is much stronger it could knock them out.
But let 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.
Just 10 weeks left to the end of the season and Napoli are trailing below Atalanta and AS Roma, yes, they'd want to strive to gain enough points so as to get tickets unto next season's European contests but it'll be a difficult task for them because even if they managed to cover up the points gap now, how can they be so sure that these top places teams would sit back and be consistently poor in these last weeks. Last season, Napoli were a better side even in season's before last but this season, there's been a big switch to that and now it's seeming like a difficult task.
Most less active teams of before have now taken it up on themselves to make long lasting differences this season and they've sure been consistent at it. It'll be difficult to break small teams as they've just developed a hidden confidence and strength to maintain their stiffness and just keep being ahead this season. Napoli can only reduce the track of points gaps between the teams but I'll really be longing that they're able to outstand and come on top the table to ensure the ticket is kept intact. Considering how their game against Barcelona turned out, it may in turn affect their confidence ahead. For Barcelona their game ended in a pleasant manner with them proving how big and mighty the team is.
Personally, I think it was a very fair game outcome due to how their last games turned out. I expected them to have done less better than they did. Though the caliber of team as Napoli isn't so solid, also ignoring the past impacts they've made in the league. Napoli, yes a performing team but not as Barcelona and Barcelona for all time has been a top team. Regardless of the amount and level of setbacks experienced so far, they were the host and so they did good to have had the upper hand in the game. Another advantageous boost to their confidence cos it all seems like they obviously were able to hold down the not so strong Napoli till the last minute.
