Barcelona have drawn first blood in their Champions League knockout tie against Napoli.
The Catalan club have been the only team to threaten scoring with the home side looking extremely poor all night. Nevertheless, the away side themselves looked to have run out of ideas until their most experienced man Robert Lewandowski stepped up and showed his class with a pinpoint strike into the bottom corner after being teed up by Pedri in the 60th minute.
BARCA WITH THE BREAKTHROUGH.
