Barcelona y Napoli They ended up drawing 1-1 in an atypical first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, in which Robert Lewandowski and Victor Osimhen were added to the list with two great goals with their respective stamps when their teams needed it.

However, it was not enough for them: when the Pole opened the scoring in the 60th minute it seemed to break a monotonous and predictable match, but not entirely. Except when Barca could barely maintain that advantage for 15 minuteswhich was how long it took for Nigerians to achieve equality.
There were two conquests with the seals of each one. Lewandowski’s player was receiving the penalty spot and cutting back until he found his place, finishing crosswise and far from the possibilities of Alex Meret, who stretched in a useless manner and was unable to prevent the goal.
The one from Osimhen, taking advantage of his marvelous physique to hold off Iñigo Martínez, turn and define against Ter Stegen’s leg.
The conquest did not make the culés grow, but it did make Napoli, who was responsible for going looking for him in the end, without success.
The key proved to be not only open, but winnable for either of the two. But only fate will tell: history will be written next March 12 on Spanish soil.
