Barcelona faces a crucial fixture in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Stage as they journey to take on Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday.
Despite their recent struggles, the Catalans are determined to progress beyond the Round of 16, a feat they haven’t achieved in the last four years. Their objective this season is clear: to advance to the quarter-finals by overcoming Napoli over the two legs and reigniting their Champions League ambitions.
Goalkeeper: Marc Ter Stegen.
Marc Ter Stegen is expected to mount the goal-post for Barcelona once again in this encounter against Napoli. The German International returned from injury some weeks ago and looks fit to feature in this game for the Catalans.
Defenders: João Cancelo, Iñigo Martinez, Ronald Araujo, and Jules Kounde.
Jules Kounde will most likely play as an alternative right-back for Barcelona in this match while João Cancelo handles his left-back position. Iñigo Martinez and Ronald Araujo can both partner in the heart of the team’s defense line against Napoli.
Midfielders: Frenkie De Jong, Pedri Gonzalez and ÌIkay Gündogan.
Ilkay Gundogan will sit a bit deep in the midfield area for Barcelona getting assistance from Frenkie De Jong who is both offensive and defensive-minded. Pedri Gonzalez on the other hand will play in the attacking-midfield position being more involved in the team’s performance offensively against Napoli.
Forwards: João Felix, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal.
According to Barcelona’s Twitter Page, João Felix was spotted in training for the team yesterday and might be match-fit for this crucial encounter. The Portuguese International can play in the left-wing position while Lamine Yamal plays in the right-wing position and Robert Lewandowski strikes upfront.
