Napoli 1-1 Barcelona: Robert Lewandowski and Victor Osimhen on Target As Lamine Yamal Breaks UCL Record

Napoli and Barcelona drew 1-1 in the 1st leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. Robert Lewandowski scored his 93rd UCL goal but Victor Osimhen hit back.

Napoli and Barcelona drew 1-1 in Italy on Wednesday night in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.

This was Napoli's first game since replacing manager Walter Mazzarri with Francesco Calzona.

Robert Lewandowski became the first Barcelona player since Lionel Messi in 2021 to score a goal in a UCL knockout match when he fired the away side in front on the hour-mark.

Lewandowski has now scored 93 UCL goals - only Messi (129) and Cristiano Ronaldo (140) have more in the entire history of the European Cup.

Napoli hit back in the 75th minute when Victor Osimhen scored his first club goal of 2024 in his first appearance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The second leg will take place in Spain on March 12.

Lamine Yamal played 80 minutes for Barca on Wednesday in a record-breaking appearance.

The teenager, playing 223 days after his 16th birthday, is now the youngest footballer ever to feature in a UCL game during the knockout phase.

That record had previously been held by Rodrigo Ribeiro, who was 16 years and 315 days old when he played for Sporting Lisbon against Manchester City in March 2022.
