Barcelona's reaction after seeing that they will play against Napoli in the Champions League

FC Barcelona already knows its destiny in the current UEFA Champions League. The Catalan team will face Napoli in the round of 16 of the competition. The draw has already defined the matchups agreed for this phase to be played at the beginning of 2024. Xavi Hernandez's team returns to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League after two years of absence and will have to play against a tough rival.

Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, referred to the Champions League draw, in which he won Napoli in the round of 16 of the competition's final. «There is plenty of time left, Naples is the current champion of Italy and it is a tough game. There are no better or worse, if they are here it is for a reason," said the team manager.

«We have to look at what we can do to improve. Against Valencia we played a great game but the victory did not come. «You have to go day by day, one day you are good and another bad... There is a lot left for this game and we will think about it when it is time. Now we have to think about Wednesday, stopping at Christmas and going full throttle again when we return. We recently won the League and things are going to work out, I'm sure," Deco shared regarding the team's plans for the future.

Who will Real Madrid play against?

The Madrid team will face Leipzig, in a tie that will be exciting from start to finish and will close at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, something that clearly plays in the interests of those led by Carlo Ancelotti. The German team is having a pretty good season. They are third in the Bundesliga, just three points behind Bayern Munich. It will not be an easy rival for the Spanish, but at first glance, they are favorites.
