UEFA Champions League last-16 second-leg result as Fermin Lopez, Joao Cancelo and Robert Lewandowski send the Catalan giants through

FAST START HELPS BARCA SINK NAPOLI TO REACH THE QUARTER FINALS

Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez and Joao Cancelo were on target as Barcelona booked their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals for the first time in four years with a 3-1 victory at home to Napoli.

The Blaugrana were held 1-1 in the first leg in Italy but a lightning start saw them take control of the tie just past the quarter of an hour mark with two goals in two minutes from Lopez and Cancelo.

Napoli looked like being swept aside but gave themselves a lifeline when Amir Rrahmani steered a smart finish into the far corner on 30 minutes.

The visitors dominated for long periods after the interval but could not manufacture the clear-cut chance to drag themselves level.

Lewandowski then made sure Barca will be in Friday’s draw for the last eight when he tapped home seven minutes from time to clinch a 4-2 success on aggregate.
