Napoli lost 2-4 at home to Barca in the second leg of the Europa League knockout play-offs, because the two teams drew 1-1 in the first leg, people were disappointed with Barca's performance, but the second leg of the away winter new signings had a crucial play, the team was able to successfully qualify at the same time also gave fans hope. The heroes of this match were Alba, De Jong, Pique and Aubameyang, but in the first half Ter Stegen sent a point, and Insigne scored a goal, which was also a small episode in the game. From the course of the whole game, Barca have recovered, and it is also possible to touch the Europa League trophy this season.
What makes Barca fans happy is that Barça have an absolute advantage in this game, Napoli does not have at home, creating too many excellent opportunities, so this is also a crushing victory for Barca. Barca are in a difficult situation this season, and it is true that there are not many foreign players who can have so many advantages, so they will win the full house. The winter window has supplemented the team's squad, which has been proven to be effective, which is also a place for supporters to be satisfied. In the past few seasons, Barça has not contributed less money to include strong reinforcements, but it has not played a decisive role, and now this deficiency has been solved, which is also beneficial to the re-emergence of the team.
Barca shot 16-7 on goal, shot 6-3, corner kicks 3-5 and 56% possession to 44%. In terms of players, Traore shot 1 time, sent 2 assists, passed 2 threatening balls, 6 times passed, the key second half constantly pressured the opponent, which is also the counter-attack of the opponent, so that the teammates will not panic, while putting pressure on the Napoli players who counterattacked, the players on the offensive end also need to take into account the defense, so the threat is weakened, which has the result of Barca's smooth promotion.
Traore was involved in scoring in the 7th minute and the 59th minute of the second half, and after scoring the ball in the opening game, Traore chose to break through in the middle and pass the ball to Alba on the right, who pushed the ball and broke the goal with ease. In the first half, because the goalkeeper sent a penalty gift, so Barca led the opponent 3-1, if Napoli scored another goal there would be a crisis, and if the point difference could be extended to lock up the victory in advance, this key moment Traore made a goal again, when he got the ball on the right side of the road and chose to pass to the back of the penalty area, Aubameyang got the ball and pushed the goal to rewrite the score to 4-1, in fact, at this moment the team has already locked in the victory, Traore's performance is indeed the best.
The same new signing Aubameyang also scored a goal in the 75th minute, he shot 2 times on target in 5 shots, passed 1 threatening ball, 1 pass, 2 fouls, and encountered the opponent's bag in the game, but even so, the front player still scored the team's fourth goal, which also killed the suspense of the game. It is also a pity that there was a one-handed opportunity after the goal was defused by the goalkeeper. It is a pity for Barca not to qualify for the Champions League, but if they can regain their dominance in the Europa League and the efficiency of the front players is improved, the team is likely to win this trophy, after all, the opponents of the Europa League are weaker than the Champions League.
Ferrantores had 3 shots on goal and 1 shot on target, delivered 1 assist, 5 passes, two fouls and fouls, and was also the hero of the team's winning, and the recent state is getting better and better, the three new signings are gradually getting better, and Barca's subsequent record will be more stable. Barca's opponent after advancing to the round of 16 is Galatasaray, this team ranks fourth from the bottom, compared to other teams is a big package, so Barca's chances of successfully advancing again are also very high. The strongest teams in this season's Europa League are Lyon, West Ham United, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, so the odds of reaching the top according to Barca's strength are higher than other teams.
Galatasaray is 13th in the Turkish Super League this season and the team's performance is also very average, so everything is in Barca's favor. Harvey's understanding of the team and the use of young players, as well as the allocation and use of new signings, are in place, and the new blood in the team is the new generation such as Garvey and Nico, and these teams can indeed be expected. Barca's next game is a key match at home to Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, and the opponent is absolutely tenacious, so the team still needs to go all out. Barca currently maintain a six-game unbeaten record in multi-front operations, with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws. Bilbao has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 1 in its last 7 matches, and has won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1 in its last three matches, which is not as good as Barca, and the team is expected to continue the winning streak at home.
