Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, has continued on his crusade against UEFA for deciding that Barça-Napoli should still take place in Barcelona. Unsurprisingly, he feels the match must be played at a neutral venue due to the COVID-19 situation in Spain. As things stand, the game will be played at the Camp Nou with the scoreline level at 1-1 following the first leg in Italy.

De Laurentiis has been speaking to Sky Sport and won't his frustration be silenced. "They (UEFA) are like the three monkeys: see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil." He then threatened action against UEFA if any member of his side were infected during their visit to Barcelona. "My hope for them, as they are my friends, that if we go there nothing bad happens to them. If not, as they said in Gladiator: 'At my signal, unleash hell.'"
