Madrid, March 11 (Xinhua) FC Barcelona plays arguably their most important game of the season when they entertain Napoli in the return leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday night.
Not only is the club's pride and image at stake after having failed to reach the knockout stage of the competition in the past two years, but its economic future is also on the line.
Barca's budget for the 2023-24 season depends on reaching the quarterfinals, and given that further cutbacks in spending will come this summer, defeat to Napoli would be a serious blow to its future plans.
