The first 30 minutes belonged to Barça but the Catalans couldn’t find the breakthrough, and Napoli finally managed to get forward and have more of the ball towards the end of the half. The hosts never came close to making Marc-André ter Stegen work, however, and Ronald Araujo almost single-handedly neutralized the threat of Victor Osimhen while Jules Kounde did a solid job defending Kvicha Kvaratskhelia on the wing.

The first half came to an end without a goal but Barça would have been happy with their work in the opening frame, but they needed to keep up the good work and be more clinical to find a winner in the final 45 minutes.

Calzona was given a contract only through the end of the season, after which there could be even bigger changes.

Osimhen, last season’s Serie A scoring leader, has indicated he will leave in June. Midfielder Piotr Zielinski has already agreed on a move to Inter Milan for next season. And goalkeeper Alex Meret could be on the way out, too.
