Francesco Calzona, coach of Napoli, arrived in Barcelona on Monday with a positive and ambitious speech and, seeing his line-up, that “be afraid, it is better not to show” is not a message for the gallery when facing the second leg of the round of 16.

After a 1-1 score in the first leg, all possibilities are open for both the team and Calzona will try to surprise the Barcelona team by putting the best gunpowder from his arsenal.
With all the players registered in perfect condition, after the dismissal of Amir Rrahmani, Jens Cáculo and Cyrile Ngonge, Calzona aims to take advantage of the great moment of the end of its stars, who in these weeks with the new coach will on a roll, especially Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with 4 goals in the last 3 games. The non-registration of Piotr Zielinski, Leander Dendoncker and Diego Demme are the compulsory absences chosen by the club itself, which aims to reach the quarterfinals of the great continental competition for the second consecutive season.
To that end, Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rramahni, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui play first; Anguissa Lobotka, Traoré; Politano, Osimhen, Kvara.
They will start on the bench Contini and Gollini (goalkeepers), Mazzochi, Natan, Ostigard, Olivera, Ctrabajo, Lindstrom, Simeone, Ngonge, raspadori.
