Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi and their contributions to Napoli and Barcelona will fire up the Europa League tie between the two clubs on Thursday, Barca coach Xavi Hernandez said on Wednesday. Maradona, who died in November 2020, and Messi, who left Barcelona for Paris St Germain last August, remain symbols of the greatest eras in the two clubs' histories. "It's an extra motivation," Xavi told a news conference on Wednesday, ahead of the second leg of their playoff in Naples, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Camp Nou.
