Barcelona coach Setien on Napoli draw: A good result

Barcelona coach Quique Setien was pleased after their 1-1 draw at Napoli.

Dries Mertens' opener was canceled out by Barcelona striker Antoine Griezmann's equaliser in the first-leg of this Champions League round 16 tie.

Setien said at the final whistle: "They have defended with ten players very close to their area. It is true that we have not generated chances, but we knew that it was a matter of patience. On the basis of insistence we found the spaces.

"It is a good result considering that we have a return game at home."

Arturo Vidal saw red and Sergi Busquets will also be suspended for that second-leg.

Setien added: "Busi has been shown the third card and we can't count on Vidal either. We will look for solutions."
