Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by Napoli at the Nou Camp in the Europa League round of 32.
Piotr Zielinski put the visitors in front in the first-half, less than a minute after Ferran Torres had missed a huge chance to score for Barcelona, after being set up by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who was making his first start for the Spanish side.
The hosts improved after the break and levelled through Torres from the penalty spot, after Adama Traore’s cross was deemed to have struck a hand following a VAR review.
Barcelona pushed for a winner late on, with Luuk de Jong going close with an acrobatic effort and Torres then missing another big chance as it finished level.
The second-leg takes place in Italy next week, and Napoli will be confident of progressing even though the away goals rule is no longer in place.
