Barça's tribute to Neapolitan music before the Champions League match Before flying to Naples, Pino Daniele, Raffaello e Pino D'Angiò songs on the blaugrana's Instagram account

Maybe it's because it will be the first time ever for Leo Messi at San Paolo, and also because of the particular curiosity in seeing the Argentine champion playing on the same pitch as his compatriot Diego Armando Maradona, but the one between Napoli and Barcelona is not a challenge like many others. The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 is scheduled for tomorrow evening, but it has already become a show even before it starts, on social media: the Catalan team started Sunday by posting a spectacular photo of the two South American stars made for the occasion:

a few hours later Napoli replied with a video tribute to some of the most beautiful goals scored by the two in the blue and Blaugrana shirt, some of which are very similar to each other.

It's not the first time that a virtual connection of this kind is triggered between two top clubs before an important challenge, but those of Barça have reached incredible levels on Instagram, combining Italian songs with the video of the boarding of the players towards Capodichino airport: the soundtrack of the stories posted by the official account is in fact a historical Neapolitan neo-melodic song, Raffaello's 'Turnamme a Fa 'Pace', while the second is Pino D'Angiò's 'Ma quale idea'. Absolutely appreciated. Just landed, the Instagram account posted Pino Daniele's 'Je So' Pazzo' and Anthony's 'E Chiammalo'.
