THE DOMINANCE OF EUROPE IS GONE

The dominance of Europe is gone

FC Barcelona drew 1-1 with SSC Napoli in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg of the 2023-2024 season at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples, Italy, at 5:00 a.m. ET today.

Barcelona opened the scoring in the 15th minute of the second leg when Robert Lewandowski took advantage of a forward pass from Pedri to beat two defenders in the box with a low, quick shot.

Napoli equalized shortly afterward. In the 30th minute of the second half, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa passed to Victor Osimhen in the box, who, like Lewandowski, scored the equalizer with a low, quick shot.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw. https://www.casinositeking.com

After winning the league title last season, their first in 33 years, Napoli will be a completely different team in 2023-2024.

Having gone through two managers this season alone, Napoli are currently in ninth place in the league with 36 points (10 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses).

Barcelona’s disappointing draw against Napoli was a bit of a surprise.

With an even 51% share of possession, 12 shots on goal and six on target (Napoli 6, Napoli 1), Barcelona were unable to secure another away round of 16 victory.
