Barca: Maximum hope ahead of a decisive week
They face Napoli in the UCL last 16 and then face Real Madrid in the Spanish capital
Barcelona and Barcelonismo needed to get it together after all the off-field distractions and they did, against Eibar. Now it's time to talk about the ball. The hour of truth has arrived.
Barcelona visit Napoli in the Champions League last 16 then Real Madrid in La Liga. Two huge games.
SETIEN'S RUN
Madrid dropped five points in two games against easy opponents and Barca have won four in a row under Quique Setien. The Clasico won't decide the league but it is big and Barcelona come into it high on confidence, knowing a win would send them five points clear. They have also had a great run at the Bernabeu in recent years.
NAPOLI FIRST
Barcelona head to Italy today and Setien finally gets his first taste of Champions League actions. This will also be a good test of his team's quality.
MESSI ON FIRE
Europe is watching and Messi says Barcelona aren't good enough to win the Champions League. He has recently recovered his nose for goal with four against Eibar and even Martin Braithwaite's arrival has generated optimism.
