Barça Shifts Focus to Napoli After Dramatic Victory in Vigo
Following a nail-biting triumph against Celta Vigo at Balaídos, FC Barcelona has swiftly turned its attention to the upcoming challenge against Napoli in the Champions League. Under the guidance of Xavi Hernández, the squad engaged in a recovery and compensation session this morning.
The victory over Celta Vigo, secured with a last-minute brace from Lewandowski, including a penalty in stoppage time, propelled the team back to Barcelona last night. Today, Xavi Hernández oversaw a recovery session, with the participation of all available first-team players, along with Kochen, Cubarsí, and Héctor Fort from the Barça B team.
Now fully focused on the Champions League clash, Barça is gearing up for the first leg of the Round of 16 against Napoli. The showdown is scheduled for Wednesday, February 21, in Italian territory, kicking off at 21:00 hours.
The Blaugrana will continue their training on Monday, and on Tuesday, they will set off for Naples, where they will conduct the final practice session before the pivotal match. There is anticipation that Xavi Hernández might see the return of captain Sergi Roberto, as hinted in the pre-match press conference ahead of the Celta Vigo encounter.
