Victor Osimhen overpowered Inigo Martinez, made a great turn and placed the ball in the low corner of the post.
Recall that it was his first appearance for Napoli since December 2023 and after the AFCON tournament.
Robert Lewandowski handed Barca the lead in the 60th minute when he arrowed an effort into the bottom corner from the edge of the area, BBC reported.
Barcelona put in a dominant performance as Napoli’s efforts in the final third was below expectation.
But the hosts eventually found a way back when Osimhen slipped past his marker in the box before rifling past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to level.
The second leg takes place in Barcelona on March 12, 3024.
