Barcelona will play Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the 2019-20 Champions League after seeing off Serie A side Napoli in the last 16 on Saturday.
The Catalan giants ran out 3-1 winners on the night at the Camp Nou to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory, thanks to goals from Clement Lenglet, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Napoli actually started the game well and could have taken the lead in the opening minutes when Dries Mertens almost stunned the hosts but hit the crossbar.
However, Lenglet opened the scoring with a header from an Ivan Rakitic corner, before Messi scored another brilliant individual goal to make it 2-0. Suarez made it 3-0 from the penalty spot, while Napoli pulled one back just before half-time through Lorenzo Insigne.
Quique Setien’s side now progress to a final eight tournament in Lisbon. The team will play Bayern Munich on Friday with the winners set to play Manchester City or Lyon in the semi-finals.
