Im impressed with how Barcelona played today,i was thinking that Napoli could have won this match easily but Barcelona destroyed them in Italy. Like you said they are better and better,this winter transfer window was a blast for them. Their attack is so good now that they can win the europe league

Yes, they're. They are really playing better and better so far. It is not easy to take back the result from the fans or whoever loves how this club play.
I see how many more people and may e most of us always underestimate this club because they always played unsatisfyingly in the past, and now, they can prove one by one to be back again with better games. Btw, P. Aubameyang also always gives very good contributions in these few matches, even giving some more goals.

Btw Braga vs Sheriff is now doing penalties.
Braga seems to have a bigger chance to win.

Barcelona is going better day by day. I feel like they see this tournament very important and go for the win. Not all big teams do that. Sometimes they don't care about Europa League after got eliminated from Champions League. But Barcelona took it serious. Especially after their position in La Liga, this is a pretty good opportunity to finish the season with a cup. They can go until the end. Napoli was one of the best teams in the tournament but Barca gave them no chance.

Barcelona team has been refilled by some new signings which make their performance good and accurate, Aubameyang and Adama Traore are really playing very impressive in the team, so this alone can make the team stronger than before.
I also have hope that they till be the Europa League Champions of this year, because they are ready to win.

I don't think I've enjoyed watching Barca play like for years now, It's getting better as the days goes by, Barcelona might not be there yet and there will surely be days when it would seem like it's just back to old days, but I duly believe Xavi is really building something special for Barcelona.

Now I can come out openly about my appreciation for Barcelona, not an easy win against very stubborn Napoli, many people including me wrote Barcelona off in this match but I think they actually did prove is wrong is good to see the team smiling again Arsenal former skipper must have brought his good luck and free spirited gifts to the Nou camp. A very big congratulations to Barcelona if the can keep their heads down I am very sure they would be Europa league champions.

Which was to prove - as I said a few of my posts earlier, then Barcelona seem to be starting to recover, which is nothing short of encouraging. The first match was absolutely equal and even difficult for both sides, I thought the second match would be about the same, but no, barcelona were a head stronger as they managed to score as many as 4 goals. Barcelona win, basically glad that they go on, they should regain the trust of the fans. Also, for the second game in a row, Barcelona's newcomer has been effective Roll Eyes

Since Barcelona brought in several new players in the January transfer market, Barcelona's performance has slowly shown an improvement.
Victory against Napoli in the second leg of the Europa League proves that Barcelona is starting to find its best performance. This is encouraging
for Barcelona supporters, because Barcelona managed to beat Napoli, even though the first meeting only ended in a draw. Actually, Barcelona's victory
was seen when the first 13 minutes of the match had managed to score two goals, this has made the morale of Napoli players fall. And sure enough
Barcelona won very convincingly, Barcelona managed to score 4 goals. Then for Napoli it's a very bad result, they should have played better at home,
it turned out that Napoli had to suffer a humiliating defeat. Hopefully the bad results don't continue to Serie A, with a defeat in the Europa League,
Napoli can concentrate on competing for the Serie A trophy.

Slava Ukraini!

Barca is back! What a win away against solid Napoli team. It was pure joy to watch our game today.
Happy to see Zenit getting kicked out from competition by Betis.
Dinamo Zagreb made upset by beating Sevilla, but minimal win wasn't enough after loss 1:3 in first leg.
Didn't expected comeback from Braga, they send game to extra time which is in action now. It's completely on side game.
Rangers - Borussia was fun game, but Dortmund didn't even managed to win and they're eliminated.

We are now extending the Braga match, Braga was already 2-0 at halftime, which was also the final score. That will feel double, they had to make up for a 0-2 deficit, but if you already did that at half time, then you want to finish the job in the 2nd half. Now there has to be an extension and the chance is quite realistic that it will be penalties and then it is again around 50-50%
I am not sure about the draw, usually it is done together with the Champions League?

The game is getting tighter I see that the two do have a strong attack on each other but Barcelona's defense is good enough so that pressure from Napoli can still be anticipated with a score of 1-3 for Barcelona, making it difficult for Napoli to step up to add goals again unless the offensive game is strong enough to the opponent but I know Napoli are still under Barcelona so any game dominates to Barcelona who is superior.

Nice win for Barcelona today at home against Napoli. I really hope they do it today after they hesitated to win the match because Napoli are the favourites. But Barcelona's performance has answered all the doubts of the fans because the score 2-4 was the final result of this match and they finished it all with 3-5 aggregate.

It's nice to see Barcelona starting to have a way of scoring more than 2 goals in their last few match. That's what Barcelona needed this season after so long they couldn't score.

The curtain has finally fallen for Dortmund, 2-2 on the scoreboard and still a few minutes to play. When it was 1-2, there were plenty of opportunities, but that illusion quickly came to an end. The big winner of tonight is of course Barcelona who are leading 2-4 and are through to the next round. I look forward to the draw. Barcelona is really in good shape nowadays.

1-4 for Barcelona now. It actually seemed decided at halftime, but now it's all done. Barcelona continue comfortably with a convincing win now, still handsome after that 1-1 draw in Barcelona. They seem to have found the form in time and also manage to score easily lately. If they keep playing like this they could win the EL. Dortmund gave away their lead, 2-2 now.

It seems that Napoli and Dortmund have to bury their desire to advance to the next round now.
Minutes running is already in the 70th minute and they are currently still losing on aggregate to Dortmund still 2 and Napoli have no hope because they have to score 3 goals.
Well this season Napoli and Dortmund seem to be faring without any titles in the competition they live in

You know how Napoli fans or anyone else thinks Barcelona is too bad to win this game, right? I think they must have been surprised by the result in the first half because 3 goals is not something common so far to represent Barcelona's success starting the first half.

I hope Barcelona really proves that they can win the game by more than 4 goals in this match although I believe Napoli can still score their second goal in the second half. Xavi must convince his players to appear more focused with good concentration until the end of the match. This is really surprising.

It will not be easy for Napoli to score 2 or 3 goals in this second half, Barca's strategy is quite good, even Aubameyang contributed 1 goal in the 59th minute. Napoli supporters' hope of seeing their team qualify for the next round seems to have been dashed.

To be honest I'm pretty sure about Barcelona's win.

Its looking great for Barcelona right now especially with a great start of scoring two goals in 15 minutes but Napoli just needed 1 more goal and with 70 minutes to go, thats kinda possible for Napoli because of the home advantage. I was kinda expecting this game to be abit defensive on both sides during the 1st half but due to Barcelona striking hard at the start of the game, Napoli are now going to play the offensive style as well

The game is getting tighter I see that the two do have a strong attack on each other but Barcelona's defense is good enough so that pressure from Napoli can still be anticipated with a score of 1-3 for Barcelona, making it difficult for Napoli to step up to add goals again unless the offensive game is strong enough to the opponent but I know Napoli are still under Barcelona so any game dominates to Barcelona who is superior.

Barcelona are just doing very great right now and I'm very contented with the current 3-1 lead of them. Their finishing the first half by this score must have boosted their morale even more than ever. And it must have affected Napoli very negatively. And frankly, I'm not expecting Napoli to turn the game around anymore. They must already be devastated now and trying desperately to have a little hope again. But I'm confident about Barcelona to secure their win.

A pretty bad first half for Napoli. They seemed not ready at the start of the match so this was maximized well by Barcelona.
13 minutes 2 goals I think is bad enough for Napoli and they are now still 2 goals behind.
It will be very difficult if Barcelona still uses the same strategy as in the first half because it is certain that Napoli will continue to be forced to stick with Tiki Taka from Barcelona.
