Barcelona - Napoli: Form Analysis
Barcelona come into this game on the back of a narrow win over Mallorca in the league on Friday. Lamina Yamal scored the winner in that game and the youngster could play a big part in the game for Xavi's team on Tuesday. Since conceding to Napoli, Barcelona have not conceded in their next three games, winning two of those and scoring five goals in the process. They currently lie 2nd in La Liga with 61 points, five behind Real Madrid, who also have a game in hand. In the Champions League, Xavi's team have won four, drawn one and lost two of their seven games so far, scoring 13 goals, conceding 7. Their struggles in the Champions League have come away from home, where they have won just one of four, but they have won all three games in the competition at the Nou Camp.
After drawing with Barcelona in the first leg in Naples, Napoli have since drawn 1-1 with Cagliari and most recently with Torino on Friday night past. In between those two draws they have had two exceptional wins, a 6-1 thrashing of Sassuolo on the road and a brilliant 2-1 win over Juventus at home. Victor Osimhen has scored five in his last five for Napoli, and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has also been amongst the goals with four goals in his last three games. Napoli have won three, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their seven Champions League games this season, but two of their wins have come on the road, which will give them confidence heading into the second leg of this tie at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona & Napoli Squad Analysis
Barcelona do not have any players suspended for the game with Napoli, but they do have a lengthy injury list to contend with. Youngster midfielders Gavi, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are all out of the game, while Alejandro Balde will not be back until next season at the earliest. Left back Marcos Alonso is another who will be absent through a back injury. Raphinha was also a doubt after he was forced off in Friday's game with Mallorca with a blow to the ankle, and he was initially rated as doubtful for the game but manager Xavi stated after the game the Brazilian will be fit to play. So too could be Ferran Torres, who had hoped to be fit for the second leg, and while that could still be the case, the chances look more likely that he will start on the bench if he proves his fitness in time.
Napoli's new manager Francesco Calzona has won two and drawn two of his first four games in charge of the club after replacing Walter Mazzari a few weeks ago. The Neapolitans don't have too many injury concerns ahead of this game. Winger Cyril Ngonge could be back in contention after recovering from muscular problems, but it is 50/50 whether midfielder Jens Cajuste will be fit enough after he missed the last four games with a hamstring strain. Kvichi Kvaratskhelia has been an outstanding threat for Napoli for the last few seasons and the Georgian winger is likely to be the source of Napoli's most dangerous attacking moves in this game.

Barcelona vs Napoli match : Frequently asked questions
The Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie between Napoli and Barcelona was played on Wednesday 21st February at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples.
After a goalless first half, Barcelona took the lead on the hour mark when Polish striker Robert Lewandowski drilled a low shot past Meret and into the bottom corner of the net. The lead only lasted 15 minutes however as on his return to action for the team after playing in the African Cup of Nations, Victor Osimhen turning his marker and sending the keeper the wrong way with a cool finish to bring Napoli level.
In the end, Barcelona will feel a little aggrieved they didn't win the game as they had the better of the chances and more shots on goal, with Napoli's equaliser coming very much against the run of play.
