Barcelona coach Xavi is excited to play at Diego Armando Maradona stadium tonight.

Barca meet Napoli in the second-leg of their Europa League playoff, with the score locked at 1-1.

Xavi said, "It's an additional motivation. It's an honour to play at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. He was a reference for all of us. We keep watching videos of him and getting excited.

"(Lionel) Messi appeared, otherwise he would be the best in history. It's a responsibility and an honour.

“It would be a great disappointment. We are very excited about this competition. We want to compete in Europe with a big rival like Napoli. We got a good result in the first leg, but we have to play here. If we are at our level, we have a good chance of going through to the round of 16. I predict a very difficult match."
