Catalans eliminate Napoli, Barcelona alive in Europe

Barcelona qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, thanks to the triumph achieved against Napoli, 3-1, after, in the first leg of the 'quarters', they having recorded a 1-1 draw.

The Catalans supported a truly 'diabolical' start to the game, and took the lead after just 15 minutes, through Fermín López. Two minutes later, Raphinha shot straight at the post, but, on the rebound, Portuguese international João Cancelo didn't forgive.

Even so, the away team decided to react, and a goal from Amir Rrahmani relaunched the qualifier.

In the second half, the Italians pressed, but it was the same home men who widened the gap, thanks to a successful shot from Robert Lewandowski.

Barcelona thus joins Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the next phase of the knockout competition. The remaining places will be decided by Atlético de Madrid-Internazionale and Borussia Dortmund-PSV.
