Napoli go to the first leg of their tie against Barcelona after back to back wins in the league against Cagliari and Brescia. Meanwhile, Barcelona was back at the top of the La Liga after Real Madrid lost to Levante.

In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona had to steer its way through the competitive Group F, which had the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan.

The team from Naples is capable of beating the big boys in Europe. They defeated defending champions Liverpool in the group stage.

Both Barcelona and Napoli were unbeaten in the group stage of the tournament.

Interestingly, Barcelona and Napoli, despite their history, have never played against each other before in any UEFA competition.

However, there is a recent history between the two. Barca and Napoli met twice over the summer in the United States with friendlies in Miami and Michigan. Messi didn't travel with Barca due to injury but the Spanish club managed to win both of the contests.
