Only three goals in Napoli – Barcelona and Porto – Arsenal

Napoli and Barcelona drew in a festive atmosphere at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Francesco Calzona making his technical debut.

The Catalans fought for the most part and eventually managed to open the scoring thanks to Robert Lewandowski (60 minutes), who fed Pedra perfectly.

Napoli got back into the game in the 75th minute when Viktor Osihen headed home from Anguissa’s pass after several scoring chances.

This was the final score of the game, and the fate of qualification was decided in the second leg.

In Portugal, “Porto” won at home with a minimal advantage in the match against “Arsenal”.

In an economical match, but with better possession for Mikel Arteta’s side, the Portuguese struck in the fourth minute of added time.

The Brazilian Galeno scored for Porto, who on the eve of the second leg in London have the first chance to reach the quarterfinals.
