Napoli vs Barcelona: UEFA Champions League Live Stream, Time, TV Channel - Watch Online (2/21/24)

Napoli's new coach, Francesco Calzona, faces a big challenge against Barcelona in the Champions League, after only two days in charge.

Napoli is set to take on Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on February 21, 2024, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. The defending Serie A champions recently appointed Francesco Calzona as their coach just 48 hours before this crucial match.

Calzona is no stranger to Napoli, having previously served as an assistant to Maurizio Sarri and Luciano Spalletti. He played a significant role in the team's success, including the implementation of Dries Mertens' move to a false 9 position and laying the foundation for their Serie A title run.

Despite his extensive knowledge of the team, Calzona faces a daunting task as he takes charge of the club for the first time. Napoli is currently on a five-match winless run, leading to their second coaching change of the season.

Calzona's coaching style is expected to be more attacking, which could benefit players like Victor Osimhen and Stanislav Lobotka. However, the team's reaction to their fourth different coach in nine months remains uncertain, especially as they struggle in Serie A.

With several key players potentially leaving at the end of the season, including Osimhen and Piotr Zielinski, Napoli's future could see even bigger changes. Despite the challenges, Calzona has already transmitted enthusiasm to the team, and they are determined to turn their season around.
