End of match
-
96'FT: Barca 3-1 Napoli!! (agg 4-2)! All over at the Camp Nou! Lenglet, Messi and Suarez gave Barca a 3-0 lead in the first half before Insigne netted a penalty. Barca were poor in the second half, but they were helped by Napoli's lack of shots on target. Napoli dominated the second half, but Ter Stegen had little to do.
