Champions League round of 16 Napoli European Championship coach debut, Arsenal's offensive line is a huge threat!

The first leg of the 16th round of the European Champions League started early on the 22nd Beijing time. The move was announced two days after Napoli's new boss took office, when Slovakia coach Cardona would remain in charge of the team to this day. Although he is 55 years old, he has only led a professional team for two years, is he capable of being a good firefighter? Arsenal have scored 11 goals in the last two league games, while Porto have not achieved any better, so will Portugal's side be able to resist Arsenal's attack?

Cardona leads Slovakia to the European Championships, Napoli vs Barcelona, what is the impact of this change?

In the first leg of the Champions League group stage, two teams from Italy and Spain will meet in the Champions League group stage. Both teams have all but lost their chances of winning the league title, while Napoli have a good chance of not being able to play in next season's European competition. Pompeii were five points clear of the Europa zone against Genoa, with Mazzarri returning in November and being replaced by Cardona, who is still Slovakia boss.

The 55-year-old Italian boss has only made three second division appearances for Arezzo and one Coppa Italia during his managerial career. Since then, he has been unable to do his sports anymore because of his physical weakness. In the nineties of the 20th century, he directed a team of amateurs and also founded a coffee shop. In the 1999-2000 season, he stepped down from his position as manager of the amateur team in Tegreto, and he proposed the current Lazio manager, Maurizio Sarri, to be the head coach.

In the Europa League zone, Napoli lead with five points.

In 2008, when he was 40 years old, he returned to the world of football as an assistant coach and technical director. In 2022, Slovakia called him up, and this time, his bloodline looks good enough, having led Slovakia to the European Championship in June. Slovakia's first choice was defensive player Lobotka, which may explain why the Italian Football Federation would make Cardona the manager of Napoli.

Although Xavi remains at Barcelona, he has made it clear that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season after a 5-3 defeat to Villarreal in January. Barcelona still have a chance of winning the title, but the boss is in a hurry to resign, suggesting that Xavi's relationship with the club's management has broken down. With Xavi's departure, Barcelona have won three games and drawn one, making it difficult for Real Madrid to win the league title, but they still have a chance to overtake Girona in their remaining three games.

Barcelona are unbeaten since Xavi withdrew from the team at the end of the season.

Napoli are second in the group, which is their usual level. On the contrary, Barcelona lost two games in a row without opponents from five main teams, which is undoubtedly unfair to their supporters. The two teams have met in the last four European group stage matches, with Barcelona ending in a draw in the first round and a win in the second round to advance to the next round. The two sides are now at a close level and it is quite possible to play a 1-1 scoreline in this one.

Porto vs Arsenal--- Jesús is unhappy with his current form.

Porto have been knocked out of the Champions League six times in the last seven seasons and have undoubtedly become the benchmark for Portugal's European competitions. Porto have lost twice to Barcelona in the group stage, but Porto have scored more than two goals in each round and are therefore considered second in the group.

Porto played well in the group stage.

However, Porto, Portugal's top European standard, will be in danger of missing out on next season's UEFA Champions League. Porto are now seven points clear of the top of the table, while Sporting Lisbon are one point short of Porto, who would be very lucky if they could finish in third place. Portugal lost to the Netherlands last season, which left them in 3rd place in the Europa League. If Porto can win this season, then they can qualify for next season's Champions League. Will there be another Mourinho?

Arsenal have scored 11 goals in their last two games.

Sevilla are one of Arsenal's strongest teams, but the Champions League winners are not only last in the group because they can't adapt to the Champions League, but they are also the only team that is difficult to win, so it is not difficult for Arsenal to win the group, but they have lost a good victory. Arsenal played well in the group stage, finishing just four goals behind Real Madrid.

Arsenal, who have won five consecutive Premier League titles, have scored 11 goals in their last two rounds and are so aggressive that they miss the injured Gabriel Jesus a lot. This one, Arsenal will be hoping for a 2-0 win away at Porto.
