At 01:45 Beijing time on February 18, the first leg of the Europa League knockout play-off, Zelinsky opened the record with two consecutive strikes, Felan Torres equalized after losing 2 unique opportunities, and Barca was forced to draw 1-1 by Napoli at home.
Before this campaign, Barca and Napoli had only met twice, that is, in the 19/20 Champions League quarterfinals, when Barca advanced 4-2 on aggregate over two legs, including a 3-1 home win. Unexpectedly, two years later, they would meet in the Europa League.
The home side was forced to draw 1-1 by Napoli, and Barca did not have the initiative to advance. Despite scoring a penalty, Ferran Torres, who wasted at least 3 golden opportunities + 2 chances to kill, blamed himself after the game, and the scene of covering his face and crying was painful.
Ferran Torres, who was introduced for 55 million euros, had only 1 shot on target in 7 of 9 shots on goal, and he conceded the ball in five times. So Barca didn't win Napoli this time, he really needs to carry a lot of responsibility.
