Athletistic / Football. Barcelona head coach Xavi has shared his expectations for the Champions League Round of 16 opener against Napoli.

“If we reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it will be the moment of truth. Going further is our goal. We have to play on Wednesday and enjoy the football. Maybe the Champions League is the unfinished business of Barcelona in recent years, we will see if we can perform well this season.

There are no favorites in our confrontation. Everything is 50/50. It’s not Napoli’s best season, but our performances are also uneven. No matter how much we speak now, the most important words we have to say are on the ground. The time has come ! “, Javi said as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

The meeting between Naples and Barcelona will take place on February 21 in Naples at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. The first kick of the ball will take place at 23:00 Moscow time. The return match will take place in Barcelona (Spain) on March 12.
