Napoli vs Barcelona UCL 2023-24 RO16 1st Leg Match Preview  Image - X

Napoli and Barcelona will meet at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for the UCL 2023-24 Round Of 16 1st leg match. Napoli are coming after playing a 1-1 draw against Genoa in their latest Serie A fixture. Meanwhile, Barcelona are coming into the match after defeating Celta Vigo by 2-1 at home.

Napoli are struggling at the ninth spot of the Serie A table at the moment and have been inconsistent throughout this season. Barcelona are struggling too but still holding themselves in the third spot of the La Liga standings and have been very poor in all competitions. The defending Serie A and La Liga Champions are both in a huge mess which makes it more interesting.

Walter Mazzari was leading Napoli but after their draw against Genoa, Slovakia manager Francesco Calzona, a former Napoli coach arrived on a short-term deal until June, becoming the club's third head coach of the season. On the other hand, Xavi has already announced that he will leave the club at the end of this season. Both sides would like to change their fortune when they meet at the Diego Maradona Stadium for the first leg and Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for the second leg.

Napoli vs Barcelona: Head-to-Head in all Competitions

Barcelona have impressive records against Napoli on the European stage and have won five out of the eight matches played between the two teams. The previous meeting between Barcelona and Napoli in the UEFA Champions League took place in the 2019-20 season and it ended in a 4-2 aggregate victory for Barcelona.

The previous European meeting between the two teams took place in the 2021-22 edition of the UEFA Europa League and it ended in a 4-2 victory for Barcelona.

Barcelona have lost two of their last three matches against Italian opponents in the UEFA Champions League. They have won only one of their last 10 away games in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. So, Napoli have a pretty good chance to avoid a loss in their home.

Napoli vs Barcelona: UCL 2023-24 RO16 1st Leg - Team News

Napoli

Francesco Calzona has a fully available squad. Piotr Zielinski, Mathías Olivera, and Alex Meret all recently returned from injuries, while Juan Jesus is back from a domestic suspension. Victor Osimhen is expected to start for Napoli in his first appearance for the club since December 23, having served a suspension before going away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Osimhen's return is also good news for Georgian winger Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was one of the best players in Europe last season but hasn't been the same this term. He would very much like to bring his A game for his side when they take on the Blaugranas at home.

The last year's quarter-finalists, Napoli finished as Group C runners-up in the Champions League this season, trailing eight points behind Real Madrid, who they were beaten by both home and away. Napoli don't have a good record against Barcelona but if they want to change to fate of their season, they will have to qualify for the Quarter-Finals.

"We're starting over as of today. We're resetting everything and beginning a new path. I'm here to give this team an identity."

Francesco Calzona (Napoli Head Coach)

"I've felt that this team is fully committed. We haven't done much talking as what we need at the moment is actions rather than words. We have little time so we have to speed up the learning process. I've told the players there are no excuses and we need to be loyal to ourselves."

The new Napoli head coach added

"The Napoli fans are wonderful, but rather than asking them to help us, we need to be the ones captivating them and making them proud."

Calzona about the Napoli fans

Barcelona

The defending Spanish Champions finished level on points with Porto but secured the top spot through a favourable head-to-head record, having beaten the Portuguese Giant home and away despite defeats against Antwerp and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Joao Felix could return for Barcelona having overcome an ankle injury to take part in training on Monday. But, Xavi remains without Alejandro Balde, Gavi, Ferran Torres, and Marcos Alonso.

Vitor Roque might make his Champions League debut and the 16-year-old Lamine Yamal will be aiming to become the first player to score in the competition at that age.

Both could start alongside Robert Lewandowski, who hasn't scored a goal in four Champions League appearances this season but has scored in his last three league matches and is Barca's top scorer this season with 17 goals.

Barca have struggled all season for consistency, and Xavi is yet to prove himself as a coach in the continental stage. Napoli have never been weaker than they are now and the Balugranas can get a victory in Naples.

"We have enthusiasm and we're motivated to get to the quarterfinals. It's the perfect setting to play a great game and to show what we have worked hard for."

Xavi (FC Barcelona Head Coach)

"We have to prepare knowing that there are also 90 minutes to be played at Montjuïc. But that doesn't change our DNA. We have to defend well and possess the ball."

Xavi added

"Napoli have a very good side. They won Serie A last year. We are very excited because we haven't played this kind of game in two years."

Frenkie De Jong (FC Barcelona Midfielder)

Napoli vs Barcelona: Probable Lineups

Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Rrahmani, Mazzocchi; Anguissa, Lobotka, Cajuste; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Iñigo, Cancelo; Christensen, De Jong; Yamal, Gündogan, Pedri; Lewandowski

Full-time | Ajax 0-2 Inter

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News - Ajax 0-2 Inter | sportzpoint.comLast season's beaten finalists start in impressive fashion, Marcus Thuram heading both goals as Inter see off Ajax.

The Dutch side were unfortunate not to score when an excellent Yann Sommer denied Mika Godts' save before the opening goal, but Cristian Chivu's first experience of the UEFA Champions League as a coach produced a confident victory for the visitors.

Sep 17, 2025, 9:12 PM

Full-time | Bayern 3-1 Chelsea

Sep 17, 2025, 9:11 PM

Full-time | PSG 4-0 Atalanta

PSG 4-0 Atalanta - UEFA Champions League matchday 1 roundup

Luis Enrique can’t have wished for much more. A swashbuckling attacking display that included four goals and a well-deserved clean sheet.

After a league phase campaign fraught with jeopardy last time round, Paris start their quest for a second consecutive Champions League crown in the most consummate of ways.

As for Atalanta, they toiled and stuck to their task, but will now focus on picking up their first points against Club Brugge in two weeks time.

Sep 17, 2025, 9:09 PM

Full time | Liverpool 3-2 Atletico

Liverpool 3-2 Atletico - Virgil van Dijk scored a late winner for LiverpoolLiverpool found a way for a hard-fought three points in their league phase opener.

Atleti deserve huge credit for their response to falling 2-0 down. The hosts fashioned the better chances after the interval, with Mohamed Salah striking the post, but Marcos Llorente’s late volley was cancelled out by Virgil Van Dijk right at the end.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM

Half-time | Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News: Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid at half-time

Liverpool could hardly have wished for a better start at Anfield after Andy Robertson’s fortuitous opener and Mohamed Salah’s fine effort, but Atleti have done well to gain a foothold and managed to half the deficit through Marcos Llorente on the stroke of half-time. 

The hosts will need to hit the ground running in the second half, otherwise it might be back to square one for Arne Slot's team.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM

Half-time | Ajax 0- 1 Inter

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News: Thuram scored for Inter

After something of a shaky start, Ajax managed to find their way back into the game. 

Ironically, they had the best chance of taking the lead – Yann Sommer saving expertly from Mika Godts – seconds before Marcus Thuram headed the visitors in front at the other end.

John Heitinga’s men will now have to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser, which could play into Inter’s hands.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM

Half-time | PSG 2-1 Atalanta

A consummate performance befitting of champions. Paris have started their European campaign in much the same vein they finished the last - in total control. In truth, Atalanta had done well to limit the hosts to Marquinhos’ close-range finish, with Marco Carnesecchi largely to thank, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia eventually added a sumptuous second.

Bradley Barcola’s missed penalty is the only blemish, while Atalanta will be grateful for the half-time break.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:08 PM

Full time: Praha 2-2 Bodo

What a contest we have witnessed! Both teams gave everything, competing all the way. Slavia earned a two-goal advantage thanks to a pair of strikes from Youssoupha Mbodji on his full debut, but Bodø/Glimt displayed the character they so often showed during last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to substitutes Sondre Brunstad Fet and Daniel Bassi. A breathtaking evening, with both clubs showing why they play at this level.

Sep 17, 2025, 6:54 PM

Full time: Olympiacos 0-0 Pafos

Olympiacos 0-0 Pafos

Pafos make a memorable debut in the UEFA Champions League, taking a point despite having ten players for more than an hour. Olympiacos applied plenty of pressure around the opposition box but may feel their finishing could have been better, while the Cypriot club managed to disarm them and escape unscathed.

Up next, potentially greater hurdles for both sides: Olympiacos travel to London for their game against Arsenal, while Pafos play host to Bayern Munich.

Full-time: Real Madrid 2-1 Marseille

Real Madrid 2-1 Marseille

A pair of penalties from Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid turn a deficit into victory in Xabi Alonso's first Champions League game at the helm. 

After withstanding early pressure from the hosts, Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah's emphatic finish, but Alonso's side were quickly level when Mbappé converted from the spot following a foul by Geoffrey Kondogbia on Rodrygo.

Although Madrid had Dani Carvajal sent off in the 72nd minute, Mbappé struck again with nine minutes left after Facundo Medina was penalised for handball.

Sep 17, 2025, 5:05 AM

Full time: Juventus 4-4 Dortmund

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News: Juventus 4-4 Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin that equalled the record for the highest-scoring Champions League draw.

Khéphren Thuram and Loïs Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.

Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund.

The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.

Qarabağ claim a historic win here in Lisbon – and few can argue with the result. Benfica were 2-0 up after 16 minutes, but after Leandro Andrade’s goal, the Azerbaijan champions grew in confidence and made the most of their momentum to level and ultimately win it in the closing stages. Welcome back, Champions League!

PSV 1-3 USG

What an excellent performance by Sébastien Pocognoli’s men. Throughout the match they seemed able to absorb any pressure, remain calm when in possession, and now and again turn up the heat to inflict damage on the home side. 

Great displays all round, with Anouar Ait El Hadj and Christian Burgess particularly impressive. An amazing start to the club’s UEFA Champions League career.

Arsenal have failed to score in Spain in the first half.
