Barcelona has returned to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in four years with a 3-1 win over Napoli. Fermín López, João Cancelo and Robert Lewandowski scored for Barcelona as it advanced 4-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Italy three weeks ago.

Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez celebrates after scoring his side’s opening goal during the Champions League, round of 16, second leg soccer match between Barcelona and SSC Napoli at the Olympic Lluis Companys stadium in Barcelona, Spain, Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

Amir Rrahmani scored for Napoli, which couldn’t repeat its last-eight appearance from last season, when it won a knockout round for the first time. It struggled to keep the Italian side from threatening after taking the early lead at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, making his 100th UEFA appearance, was tested often by Napoli’s attack.

Napoli got on the board in the 30th with Rrahmani finding the net with a low left-footed shot for his first European goal.
