In his first club appearance since December, Victor Osimhen scored to secure a draw for Napoli against Barcelona in the Champions League last-16 first leg. Robert Lewandowski gave Barcelona the lead in the 60th minute but Osimhen leveled for Napoli with a well-placed shot past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw setting up an intriguing second leg in Barcelona on March 12. Napoli struggling in Serie A showed improvement in the second half but Barcelona’s early dominance posed a significant challenge. The draw keeps both teams in contention for a quarter-final spot.
