Prediction: 1-1
Barcelona
A place in the Europa League last 16 will be at stake when Napoli and Barcelona face each other at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday evening. The Neapolitans’ main goal is to win their first Scudetto since 1990, but they have big ambitions for the Europa League playoffs as well. All Lobotka, Anguissa, Lozano, Politano, and Tuanzebe should miss out with injuries for the Serie A side.
Barca, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team rolling over Valencia 4-1 in their last La Liga game. January signing Aubameyang, who scored a hat-trick at Mestalla, will be the man to watch in the away team, while Pedri should be recalled to the starting XI. Both Dani Alves and Gerard Pique are back from domestic bans. The good news for the visitors is that both Memphis Depay and Lenglet have recovered from their respective injuries. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Naples as Luciano Spalletti’s men are tough to beat at home.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.
The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.
The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
