Lewandowski: I'm happy to lead this young Barcelona team

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was happy with his goal in their Champions League draw at Napoli.

The first-leg of their round of 16 tie finished 1-1 at the Maradona.

Lewandowski said: "The first half was really excellent, in the second perhaps we played a little more defensively but we still scored. We're going home with only one point, but we have a good opportunity in Barcelona. We have to win because it's too important.

"I feel great physically. We have young players and we need some time, but the team has a lot of potential. Now let's concentrate in these three weeks left before the return leg.

"Tonight we played together and we must continue like this. I bring experience, meanwhile good young people like Pedri will grow more and more."
