by

Setback in the Europa League after its catastrophic run in the Champions League, FC Barcelona will challenge Naples in the knock-offs of the round of 16. The Catalan club will have to pass this obstacle to eventually find Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco in the next round.

The dam draw for the 8th of the C3 took place on Monday.

FC Barcelona in the Europa League, you have to pinch yourself to believe it. And yet, the Catalan club is well among the remaining teams in C3. Coming without glory from the Champions League, the Blaugrana have known their future opponent in the event since Monday.

Naples for the Bara!

Present in the hat 2 among the formations returned to the competition, the Bara, assured of avoiding Real Sociedad and Betis, thought to inherit a rather lenient draw among the teams having finished 2nd place in their pools. Rat! And for good reason, the five-time winner of the C1 fell on the best possible team, namely Naples.

A shock worthy of the Champions League which proves that nothing is forgiven at Bara this season … Two teams, which can be considered as favorites for the final victory, which have recently believed in iron. It was during the round of 16 of the 2019-2020 C1, won by the resident of Camp Nou (1-1, 3-1). A time that seems distant as long as the Bara has since weakened …

Porto-Lazio, Dortmund pargn
