FC Barcelona vs SSC Napoli History

FC Barcelona secured a maiden continental title in 1992, in what was the final season of the European Cup before the tournament was remodelled to the UEFA Champions League.

That win came at the old Wembley Stadium, where Barca beat Sampdoria by a single goal to zero. It would take another 14 years for Barcelona to lift this trophy again, The La Liga side came from behind to beat 10-man Arsenal in Paris.

Barca then captured the Champions League title three times in the space of seven years, including two triumphs under manager Pep Guardiola. La Blaugrana defeated Manchester United in the 2008/09 final and again two years later, before Luis Enrique guided the Catalan giants to a fourth Champions League success in 2015. Barca were worthy winners against Juventus in the final.

Napoli’s involvement in UEFA's premier club tournament has been mostly inconsistent. Gli Azzurri twice featured in the European Cup, in the late 1980s and early 90s. They didn't appear in the competition for almost two decades following the rebranding of the tournament.

Since winning the UEFA Cup in 1989, Napoli have failed to add further European honours to the club's trophy cabinet. The Italian outfit qualified for the Champions League knockout stages on debut in 2011/12, escaping a tough group also containing Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Villarreal.

Napoli ultimately lost to Chelsea in the Round of 16, despite claiming a 3-1 win in their first-leg tie. The Naples-based side exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage again in 2016/17, at the hands of Real Madrid, and also to Barcelona in 2019/20.

In 2023, Gli Azzurri reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time, but crashed out to Serie A rivals AC Milan.
