    A lot is at stake for Barca manager Quique Setien

    Barcelona have not been eliminated in the round of 16 stage since 2007. They are also aiming for a first Champions League title since 2015. A lot is at stake for manager Quique Setien, who is likely to be sacked if the club fails to do well in the UCL. Last month, Barca missed out on La Liga title as Real Madrid emerged triumphant.

    What did the managers say ahead of this crunch encounter?

    Setien said that the thought of a sack hasn't crossed his mind. "At no point has the thought that tomorrow could be my last game passed through my head," he claimed. Meanwhile, Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso is hoping to guide the club into the last eight. "We certainly want to write an important page in our history," said Gattuso.
