Spanish side Barcelona booked their place in the round of 16 of the Europa League, beating Napoli 4-2 win on Thursday.

Having played a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Camp Nou, Barcelona came to Italy to grab all three points, ending two legs 5-3 aggregate in their favour.

Before the blast of the whistle, both teams stood behind a long Stop War banner, in campaign against lingering crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

Barcelona took the lead just eight minute after the blast of the whistle, as Jordi Alba brilliantly finished a counter-attack by Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Frenkie de Jong made it two for Barcelona five minutes later, netting a brilliant goal in the 13th minute.

Napoli got an equaliser as VAR confirmed a penalty decision in the 23rd minute, providing Lorenzo Insigne an opportunity to score from the spot for the home team.

Just before first half break, however, Barcelona increased their lead margin as Gérard Pique scored in the 43rd minute.

Aubameyang made it four for the Catalans in the second half, firing a pass from Adama Traore into the top corner in the 58 minute.

Politano got another consolation for Napoli in the 86th minute. But Barcelona won maximum points with wide goal margin to proceed to the next stage of the Europa Cup.
