Barca into Champions League Quarter-Finals for First Time in Four
Blaugrana Safely Through After Quipping Napoli in Return Leg
Spanish Giants to Face Bayern Munich in Final Eight
Barcelona has reached the last eight of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in four years after defeating Napoli 4-2 on aggregate in their Round of 16 tie. The Blaugrana had lost the first leg in Italy 1-0, but they bounced back in style at the Camp Nou, winning 3-2 on the night to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory.
Ousmane Dembele gave Barca the lead in the first half, and Lionel Messi doubled the advantage just after the hour mark. Napoli pulled one back through Lorenzo Insigne, but Gerard Pique restored Barca's two-goal lead with a header. Dries Mertens scored a late consolation for Napoli, but it was not enough to prevent Barca from reaching the quarter-finals.
Barca will now face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. The first leg will be played at the Camp Nou on April 1, and the second leg will be played at the Allianz Arena on April 8.
