Barcelona is a giant club but got eliminated before the Q-final stage of the ECL for the last 3 years. Having drawn 1-1 with Napoli in the first leg, Barca hoped that home ground advantage would help them to get into the Q-final for the first time in 4 years.

They had a wonderful start that brought joy to the home crowd. In the first 20 minutes they had 4 big chances. Young midfielder Fermin Lopez failed to convert the first 2 but succeeded with the third. Lewandowski had a run that took out 2 defenders and then gave Lopez his 3rd chance to score which he did.

Napoli attacked from the kick off after that goal but Barca managed to deal with it and counter attacked. Raphina's powerful shot rebounded off the post. J Concelo got to the rebound and pushed the ball into an empty goal.

The 2 goals within 2 minutes (15th & 17th) gave Barca a comfortable lead. Playing safe by Barca almost allowed Napoli to equalize. In the 30th minute Rrahmani pulled one back for Napoli. 

Then Napoli's Di Lorenzo received a cross and headed what looked like going to be a certain goal. Barca's keeper, Stergen produced a world class save that stopped Lorenzo from scoring the equalizer.

Napoli was pressing Barca and in the 61st minute Xavi Hernandez made 2 substitutions for a more defensive mid field set up. Fermin Lopez who scored Barca's first goal was looking tired and was one of those taken off.

In the 64th minute Napoli also made 2 substitutions to introduce fresh legs into the grueling match. The changes in mid field worked for Barca. Stopping Napoli's attempts to attack earlier and getting action back into Napoli's half. Yamal had the ball in Napoli's net but a goal was not allowed for offside. Barca was lucky that Napoli did not equalize in the 80th minute. J Lindstrom crossed the ball to M Olivera who was left alone in Barca's 6 yard box. Olivera was not pressured by defenders but yet made the mistake of heading wide. An equalizer in the final 10 minutes of regulation time would have put great pressure on Barca.

Barca's  Lewandowski who set the record of 41:goals in one season took the pressure off Barca by restoring a  2 goal lead. Roberto made a fine solo run followed by a one two with Gundogan before making the assist that allowed Lewandowski to score. 

Desperate to catch up Napoli made another substitution  but was not able to score against Barca. 

So Barca is through to the Q-final by 4-2 aggregate.
