Barcelona’s first UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League tie in 18 years could scarcely be more difficult against Napoli as Gabonese Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang is expected to make his full debut for the Spanish giants.
Napoli know this competition inside out and, after a couple of underwhelming seasons, they are back challenging for top honours in Italy.
“They are a Champions League-level side, one of the most difficult teams we could have drawn,” rued coach Xavi Hernández.
The probable line up for Barcelona sees the former Arsenal captain lead the lines as he will be joined by former Premier League player Adama Traore and Ousmane Dembele.
