NAPLES - Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso was left frustrated after his well-drilled defence largely stifled a quiet Lionel Messi and Co. as the hosts earned a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 meeting on Tuesday .
The visitors ended the game with 10 men after Arturo Vidal was sent off late on for picking up two yellow cards in quick succession. "They could've been there all night and not scored, but we conceded after one single error. They didn't hurt us, it barely tickled." But the Belgian limped off through injury early in the second half after a hefty tackle from Busquets, which earned the midfielder the yellow card that will rule him out of the second leg.
With Sunday's La Liga Clasico against Real Madrid looming, Barca were also left with concerns over defender Gerard Pique, who limped off with an injury after falling heavily on his ankle.
