Quique Setien faces a tough task when his side face off against Serie A opposition at the San Paolo Stadium in the Champions League last 16
Barcelona will be looking to capitalise on their three-game winning streak when they travel to Napoli for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi scored four goals against Eibar on Saturday to move the Catalan side to the top of La Liga, overtaking Real Madrid. Manager Quique Setien had been on the receiving end of criticism after he opened his Barcelona account to lukewarm results, but the Blaugrana will be confident heading into the first stage of their European knockout fixtures.
There will be added pressure on the European competition for Setien, however, with Barcelona desperate to lift their first Champions League trophy since 2015.

Napoli are on a winning streak of their own, and Barcelona will know that the Serie A side will be no easy match. The Italians defeated defending champions Liverpool 2-0 earlier in the group stage, and held the Reds to a draw at Anfield.
