En el San
Paolo, el Barça jugó una vez más mal por Champions, pero se llevó un gol de
visitante que lo tiene como dominador de la serie ante Napoli.
Era la primera
pisada de Lionel Messi en el templo donde ascendió a Dios Diego Armando
Maradona como jugador.
En el San Paolo,
al Barcelona le esperaba un partido muy especial por la ida de los octavos de
final de la Champions League.
El dueño de casa,
Napoli, se supo menos desde el comienzo, pero hizo casi el partido perfecto de
la mano de Gennaro Gattuso.
A la media hora
de juego, el local recuperó rápido y Dries Mertens metió un bombazo bárbaro al
ángulo para abrir el marcador.
En la segunda
parte, Sergio Busquets rompió la última línea del equipo italiano con un pase
sensacional y apareció Nélson Semedo, quien pasó para el medio para el gol de
Antoine Griezmann.
Casi en tiempo
cumplido, Arturo Vidal fue expulsado por ganarse una doble amarilla en una misma
jugada: primero por barrer a Mário Ruiz y después por encararlo. Para colmo,
Gerard Piqué salió lesionado después de torcerse el tobillo derecho.
Todo se definirá
el 18 de marzo, cuando Barcelona reciba al Napoli en el Camp Nou.
