Napoli have been eliminated against Athletic Bilbao, Villareal and Real Madrid.
Tonight Barça visit San Paolo for the first round of 16 of the Champions League. The Azulgrana are favorites but the Italians have already shown that in their stadium they can beat the greats of Europe such as Juventus, Liverpool and Lazio.
However, the Italians' balance in playoffs against Spanish league teams is not a good thing. On the four occasions that have faced Spanish teams have fallen eliminated.
The most recent was against Real Madrid in the 2014/15 season. In the round of 16 of the Champions League the Neapolitans lost 3-1 in Bernabeu and at home also fell defeated with the same result.
Another Spanish team that left him without participation in the highest European competition was the Athletic Club. In the qualifying round before the group stage the lions won 3-1 in San Mamés and held the draw to one in San Paolo.
Finally, the third executioner of the Italians was Villarreal, in this case in the Europa League. In the 2010/11 and 2015/16 seasons, the yellow submarine managed to beat them in the final 16.

I think Barcelona deserved an accolade tonight because the defending champions of UCL fell here in this stadium and the defending champion of Italy fell their too even Lazio, but Barcelona with our poor away form didn't fall their tonight that's is a sign of something good men..

There is always a first time. If Barca will play the way we have done in this first game, we will drop off in the round of 16, sadly from our Camp Nou.
Still playing shitty.
