Despite an anemic day by Leo Messi, Spain's Barcelona champions returned (Tuesday) from Italy with an excellent 1: 1 result in the eighth Champions League final against Naples, which makes the decision to reciprocate at Camp Nou.
Arturo Vidal, who was eliminated in two yellows, will not be able to play reciprocally, as will Sergio Boscets, who won the game's outstanding player title, but a yellow spell will also prevent him from playing. Gerard Pique, who was injured in the ankle and was replaced during the bout, is in great doubt for Classico even against Real Madrid. In other words, Kika Stein's roster is getting shorter this month.
In conclusion, Stein admitted that his team did not exactly list during the 90 minutes in Naples: "Obviously I will only take the result with me. It took us a long time to start producing situations, but Naples went down great defense. We controlled the game, but we had a lot of trouble with their backs "The second half was already different, because we had more space to exploit and so came equality. That's a fair result. It's very important that we succeed in scoring towards each other."

"In the next game, we have to know patience," added the Barcelona coach. "The team worked very well and in the Camp Nou game we will find it easier to get good opportunities. Their defense does not seem to work in such a way as well."
Antoine Grizzman, who saved Barca with an equal rate, spoke openly about the relationship and professional work with Leo Messi: "In the first half I did not do enough and in the second half I was more able to express myself on the field. It will be different. My relationship with Messi is a complicated relationship. Especially on the right wing and I'm more on the left, so it's complicated for us to play next to each other and it's hard to see each other and devote ourselves, but when we both play center, then we try to play together. It's not a problem. "
"I think we are on the right path. The day I arrived here I knew it would take time to acclimate and it was important to me that I could help my teammates as well. We are all trainers that this will be a completely different story already."
