Unrewarded excellence - FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona made a magnificent impression in their Europa League debut on Thursday against Napoli. Their deep pressure caused all kinds of trouble for Napoli’s tight defence, and there were more than enough chances to take a sizeable lead to Italy next week. But lack of accuracy in front of goal means instead the teams will be starting the game with one goal each.
