The Blaugrana side will have a major number of absences ahead of this game, but Messi and Co. know they need a win here to avoid more controversy.

What has been Barcelona and Napoli's form ahead of this game?

Barcelona will enter this clash after winning four of their last six games in La Liga. Dropping four points during that span was enough to see Los Blaugranas losing the 2019-20 La Liga title against Real Madrid, and to make matters worse, those games where they dropped points took place at Camp Nou (a 2-2 draw against Atlético and a 1-2 defeat against Osasuna).

On the other side of the pitch, Napoli won three of their last six in the Italian top-flight. Gattuso's men were unable to win any of their last three away matches (one draw, two losses), but in what could be a good omen for the Italian side, they only failed to score in one of their last six matches. Added to that, the blue and white side will get to this game as Coppa Italia champions, where they defeated Juventus after an excruciating penalty shootout.

How did Barcelona and Napoli get to this stage of the UEFA Champions League?

Barcelona made it to this stage of the competition after winning Group F with 14 points. When it comes to home games, the club now coached by Quique Setién won two (against Inter and Dortmund), while their remaining match of the group stage ended in a goalless draw against Slavia Prague. Luis Suárez is the team's top scorer with three goals in the UEFA Champions League this season.

Napoli made it so far thanks to their seven-game streak without a loss in the UEFA Champions League. Gattuso's men collected five points on the road en route to winning twelve overall, which were good enough for second place in Group E. Dries Mertens is the Italian side's top scorer with six goals to his name in the tournament.
