“It is fundamental that we defend well against Napoli, not allowing Politano, Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to hurt us in the transitions. They are players who can make the difference,” the Spaniard told a press conference.
“We also know that the second leg is at home, so need to be a little more cautious. We will try to defend in possession, though I imagine Napoli will aim to do the same, especially under a new coach. It’s going to be a complicated match.
“I would never say a draw is a good result, because we are Barcelona and must always play to win.”
Osimhen will be hoping to play his first game for Napoli since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
