Barcelona – Naples live: Champions League, today, live

A Barça in regression she faces the last opportunity to make up a season to forget, with the perennial sensation of walking on the wire. Once its hegemonic dominance in the national sphere has disappeared, without the League and the Cup, not asserting itself in an empty Camp Nou, which will be almost a relief, its partial advantage would be the final burial of a project that is dying.

Such is his next expiration that even Messi has stopped his renewal waiting for the outcome of the Champions League, in which not accessing the 'Final to Eight' in Lisbon would consummate a debacle of similar dimensions to the recent ones in Atlético, Juventus, Roma or Liverpool . Barça's planning has been so improvised that Setién, who feels the pressure of the sword of Damocles, can only have 13 players from the first team.

Still, and despite their general depression, Barça have reasons to cling to. This Express Champions can be your lifeline. Not surprisingly, he is only four games away from reigning in Europe after five years. In addition, the forced peace between Leo and Setién has returned some peace to the dressing room, staged in the win against Alavés and the spiritual retreat of the team in these two weeks. He recovers De Jong and Griezmann, who is expected, with the Messi deities lamp worn from so much rubbing. At the Camp Nou, it's more Barça: there he connects 35 games without losing in Europe.

AS to follow: Leo Messi. Again, more than ever, clinging to the magic of '10'. It should not only be the compass of a desolate team, if not the worker of the umpteenth miracle. With Suárez low and Griezmann in question, the team, with a shortage of resources, has become totally addicted to the '10'. If Barça has something to say, the Argentine will have to raise his voice in a team with few decibels. He wants his fifth Champions.
