Napoli captain Giovanni di Lorenzo was happy with their Champions League draw against Barcelona.

Robert Lewandowski's opener for Barca was canceled out by Victor Osimhen as the round 16 first-leg clash finished all square.

Di Lorenzo said: "It was a good performance against a strong team that is full of champions.

We saw some of what we managed to try in training yesterday, we were solid and that is an important starting point.

Osimhen is a champion and he returned with the right mindset. He will give us a hand, just as Simeone and Raspadori will, now the coach has a lot of options to choose from."

On new coach Francesco Calzona, he added: We prepared the game in one and a half sessions, but the team was at his disposal. We must do more, but we made a small step forward and qualification is open."
