Barcelona meet Napoli in a decisive second-leg showdown in the Europa League tonight.
Only a Ferran Torres penalty could save Xavi’s side from defeat in the first leg of the play-off tie, leaving the clash all square at 1-1 after a Piotr Zielinski opener.
Having failed to make it out of their Champions League group, Barcelona are actually unbeaten in their last five games and new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit a hat-trick in a big win at Valencia over the weekend.
Napoli, meanwhile, are right in amongst a three-horse Scudetto race domestically and are out to win the Europa League for the first time since 1989.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Napoli vs Barcelona is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight - Thursday February 24, 2022.
