The two sides will be tactical in their efforts to dominate the match. The midfield and attacking areas will be crucial for both sides in this match.
Andreas Christensen
Xavi has drafted the Defender to play in midfield in recent matches. On Tuesday, he will be the deepest-lying midfielder for the home side.

K. Kvaratskhelia and M. Politano
Napoli’s two wide players will be central to their tactical plan away to Barcelona. The wingers will tuck into the half spaces and help press from the front, putting pressure on Barcelona’s midfielders and center-backs when playing from the back.
They will drop deep when Napoli are out of possession and ensure that the Serie A side are compact and solid in their defensive phase. Their pace and movement will pose an attacking threat on the counter.

Both sides will be pragmatic in their approach, looking to ensure that they are not exposed defensively, with transitions attacks as the main outlet on the offensive end.
Barcelona’s 4-3-3 will give them the bodies in the middle of the pack, allowing them to dominate possession and set the tempo of the match.
Napoli will also play with a 4-3-3 formation with three midfielders and three attackers. This shape will allow them to press from the front foot and defend deep when they are out of possession.
