Barcelona earned a hard-fought draw against Napoli in the Champions League first leg after coming from behind with a well-worked Antoine Griezmann header. Napoli who kept Messi and co quiet for most of the game took the lead with a curler from outside the box from Dries Mertens.

The Naples side will come to Camp Nou with a similar game plan for the Champions League second leg clash, having lost two and won three of their last five games in the Serie A. Barcelona, on the other hand, will come into the game having won four of the last five.

However, in their last game at the Camp Nou, the Blaugrana lost to a 10-man Osasuna and surrendered the League to Real Madrid.

Barcelona will be without Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal, who are suspended for the game. However, Setien will be hoping the French pair of Lenglet and Griezmann will be fit in time for the huge Champions League clash.
