Barcelona defender Araujo on Napoli draw: We're disappointed

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo admitted disappointment after their Champions League draw against Napoli.

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

Araujo said: "We will head home quite sad because of the final score. I really believe that we could have won this.

"We played really well, particularly in the first 30 minutes. But Napoli are a top side – now they have to come to our place, in front of our fans.

"We'll give everything we've got in Barcelona to get through to the quarter-finals. We showed we are a powerful and competitive side here tonight. Maybe we allowed them a little too much freedom in some phases – but it's all to play for."
