BARCELONA: Barcelona were held 1-1 at home by Napoli in the first leg of their Europa League knockout stage playoff tie on Thursday (Feb 17), while Scottish side Rangers shocked Borussia Dortmund with a 4-2 win in Germany.
Barcelona forward Ferran Torres was in tears at full-time of Barcelona's 1-1 draw with Napoli last night, despite scoring in the fixture.
La suerte volvió a darle la espalda a Eric García, entre España y Francia el pasado mes de octubre. El defensa, en su intento de cortar la jugada de ataque del Nápoles en el 0-1, toca el balón y habilita a un rival que se encontraba en situación de fuera de juego. Los de Xavi Hernández reclamaron al colegiado rumano Istvan Kovacs, que detuvo el encuentro para consultar la jugada con el VAR, aunque no necesitó acercarse al monitor. El jugador azulgrana se marchó a vestuarios al descanso pidiendo explicaciones a Kovacs.
