Coach Xavi's Barcelona managed to develop an impressive performance, winning 4-2 and thus eliminating Napoli Italians from the Europa League. The Catalans were fast enough to find the net, as Jordi Alba gave the friends the lead in the 8th minute of the meeting after a perfect counterattack.
Then it was Frenkie de Jong who just 5 'minutes later, on the 13th, sent the ball back into the net with a fantastic archery shot. But at this point, nothing was certain in terms of qualification. Lorenzo Insigne returned a penalty in the 23rd minute of the match, giving hope to the Italians.
However, Gerard Pique's goal in the 45th minute was the security goal for Barcelona, giving no hope to Napoli to reverse the result. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also found the net in the 59th minute, and Politano's goal in the 87th minute was totally worthless for the home side.
Meanwhile from Scotland, the Rangers managed to eliminate from the competition one of the strongest teams, namely Borussia Dortmund. The 4-2 home defeat in the first meeting proved difficult to reverse on the part of the Germans, who faced strong resistance from the Scots at their stadium.
It was Tavernier who in the 23rd minute of the meeting gave the home team the lead from the penalty spot. Dortmund responded very quickly with 2 goals, first Bellingham in the 31st minute and then Malen shortly before the end of the first half. This gave the image that an overthrow was still possible in the second half.
But Tavernier's goal in the 57th minute would finally close the issue of qualification. The match ended with the result 2-2 and Dortmund, just like Napoli, sees itself outside the Europa League.
