Barça face tough fixture against Napoli in Europa League draw

Having failed to make the group stage cut in the Uefa Champions League, Barcelona face a tough tie against Napoli in the Europa League’s Round of 16.

The Catalan side is still reeling from financial woes, the departure of high profile players including Lionel Messi and more recently a slew of injuries to young stars like Pedri and Ansu Fati.

The team is struggling to climb LaLiga this season and remain in 8th place, while Napoli are 4th in the Serie A.

Real Sociedad will kick-off their last-16 with a trip to RB Leipzig while Real Betis, the other Spanish team competing in the Europa League, head to St. Petersburg to play Zenit.
