We look back at the key Napoli vs Barcelona stats from tonight’s 1-1 UEFA Champions League draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Napoli 1-1 Barcelona Post-Match Opta Facts
- Napoli remain winless against Barcelona in European competition (D3 L2), and have only won two of their last 17 matches against Spanish teams across all competitions (D6 L9).
- Barcelona have progressed from each of their last 20 two-legged knockout stages in the UEFA Champions League when avoiding defeat away from home in the first leg, in a run dating back to the 2005-06 campaign.
- Barcelona have only kept two clean sheets in their last 14 matches in the UEFA Champions League. Indeed, among teams to have played 10+ games in the competition since the start of last season, only Celtic (0) have kept fewer than Barcelona (2) in that period.
- With Francesco Calzona taking charge for this game (following Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri), Napoli became just the third Italian side to have three different managers in a single UEFA Champions League campaign, after Internazionale in 2003-04 and Roma in 2004-05 (also three).
- Since the start of the 2019-20 campaign, Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has been directly involved in 18 goals in 12 appearances in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages (12 goals, six assists) – only Karim Benzema (19) has been involved in more such goals in this period.
- Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has scored six goals in his last six games at the Diego Armando Maradona in the UEFA Champions League. Since the start of last season, the only players to score more goals at a specific venue in the competition are Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium (12) and Kylian Mbappé at the Parc des Princes (9).
- At the age of 16 years and 223 days, Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal became the youngest ever player to appear in a knockout stage game in the UEFA Champions League. Indeed, the only two 16-year-olds to start a match in the knockout stages of the competition both have done so this season (Warren Zaïre-Emery and Lamine Yamal).
