In his pre-match press conference prior to the Champions League game against Napoli, Gerard Piqué spoke about Barça’s hosts: “Napoli have improved in recent games. Against the big teams they’ve played well and got good results; beating Juventus and Liverpool. They have some really good players like Insigne, Mertens and Milik, and we will have to be alert.”

The centre-back also outlined his thoughts on the match in general. “We will play our game, have the ball, look to score and take a positive result away for the return game.”

A decisive part of the season
After the Champions League game comes El Clásico against Real Madrid: “Having a good game against Napoli will help us to face El Clásico more calmly. It’s an important week, and we want to keep the good run going, it gives us confidence.”
