TNT SPORTS EXPERTS REACT TO BARCA'S TRIUMPH
GLENN HODDLE: "They were too good for Napoli in the end. Napoli responded when they found themselves 2-0 down and they came out in the first part in the second half with a bit of intent. They had a couple of really good chances and if they put them away it’s a different story. But in the end Barcelona got it done. They aren’t the big team they used to be but they are still a big club and have got some talent out there."
OWEN HARGREAVES: "They (Barca) were brilliant last season winning La Liga and to get into the quarter finals is good too. They will be dangerous. They are missing some big players, so to do this with young players - who were the best players on the night - along with the likes of Lewandowski and Gundogan… it’s a good mix. They were good value tonight. They can be a problem in the next round. If they get it right they could be a threat."
FAST START HELPS BARCA SINK NAPOLI TO REACH THE QUARTER FINALS
Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez and Joao Cancelo were on target as Barcelona booked their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals for the first time in four years with a 3-1 victory at home to Napoli.
The Blaugrana were held 1-1 in the first leg in Italy but a lightning start saw them take control of the tie just past the quarter of an hour mark with two goals in two minutes from Lopez and Cancelo.
Napoli looked like being swept aside but gave themselves a lifeline when Amir Rrahmani steered a smart finish into the far corner on 30 minutes.
The visitors dominated for long periods after the interval but could not manufacture the clear-cut chance to drag themselves level.
Lewandowski then made sure Barca will be in Friday’s draw for the last eight when he tapped home seven minutes from time to clinch a 4-2 success on aggregate.

NO GOAL TONIGHT, BUT RAPHINHA HAD A BIG HAND IN BARCA'S FIRST TWO GOALS

Xavi's men will be back in the quarter finals for the first time since 2020.

DID YOU KNOW?
Barcelona have won only one home European game in each of the last two seasons. Indeed, this season's defeats of Antwerp, Shakhtar and Porto have made it just five successes in 15 European games in their own stadium, with five defeats in that sequence (via UEFA).
BARCA ATTEMPTS
Yamal wins the ball high up the pitch, plays a one-two with Gundogan and then drills a cross-shot volley at the second attempt right across the six-yard box.
The hosts come again but Gundogan's snap shot on the swivel is smartly pushed away at his right-hand post by Meret.
BARCA GOAL CHALKED OFF
The hosts think they have restored their two-goal cushion but Yamal is offside when he touches a flick towards goal into the net from close range.
VAR checks and agrees it's offside. Still 2-1 on the night and 3-2 on agg.
BARCA ATTEMPT
Raphinha's long-range free kick should be easy enough for Meret but he opts to parry it away. He probably should have gathered that.
