Barcelona coach Setien wary of Coppa winners Napoli

Barcelona coach Quique Setien says there’ll be no underestimating Champions League opponents Napoli.

The first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 ended 1-1 at the Stadio San Paolo before the coronavirus suspension.

“I think the new Champions League format is worse not just for Barca, but for everyone, as over two legs you at least get a better chance of qualification,” Setien said at a press conference.

“We all want to play home and away, but the circumstances are what they are and we have to adapt.”

Gennaro Gattuso’s Napoli held Juventus to a 0-0 draw in last night’s Coppa Italia Final, eventually winning the trophy on penalties.

Napoli are strong opponents, they put in a good performance in the Coppa Final and already made us work hard in the first leg,” added the Barcelona boss.

“They already made it very tricky for us there and it won’t be easy for us, but we’ll try our best.”
