Napoli hold Barcelona 1-1 in Europa League

SPORTS 17.02.2022

Ferran Torres slotted in a penalty to rescue a 1-1 draw for Barcelona at home against Napoli in the first leg of their Europa League playoff on Thursday.

Text size:

Piotr Zielinski had opened the scoring for the Italians after 29 minutes in Spain but Torres levelled just before the hour from the spot after a Juan Jesus handball.

The draw leaves the tie open for both teams to advance to the last 16 of Europe's second-tier club competition with the second leg next week in Italy.

"They got into our area once or twice and they scored a goal, we had a lot of chances," said Barcelona skipper Gerard Pique.

"The feeling is good, the result not so much. Everything remains open. It was a great match against a high-level opponent.

"The result is not satisfactory, we would have liked to have had a bigger advantage for the return match."

Barcelona are playing the Europa League for the first time in 18 years after crashing out of the Champions League in the group stage.
