Havana, March 13 (PL) - Barcelona advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Champions League after defeating Napoli 3-1 in the second leg of the round of 16.

After three seasons without reaching this stage, the Catalans broke the bad streak with goals from Fermin Lopez, Joao Cancelo and Robert Lewandowski.

With this success, the team coached by Xavi Hernández is now among the eight best teams in the competition, something they last achieved in the 2019-2020 campaign, when they were eliminated by Bayern Munich with a historic 2-8 defeat.

Precisely Bayern could be one of their rivals in the next stage, as the Bavarians also advanced, these at the expense of another transalpine team, Lazio, thanks to a 3-1 aggregate result.

In another match on Tuesday, Arsenal beat Porto of Portugal 4-2 on penalties.
