FC Barcelona will feel the UEFA Champions League is their best bet to win a trophy in a season that has been largely uninspiring. They are third in the La Liga and do not look like catching leaders Real Madrid.

Napoli versus Barcelona will be telecasted on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on the Sony Liv app from 1:30 am IST.
