Frenkie De Jong scored his first European goal for FC Barcelona
However, it was then the turn of the Dutch midfielder, to put his mark on the tie as he scored his first European goal for FC Barcelona and it turned out to be a thing of absolute beauty.
The goal came through a quick counterattack, which was launched by Ter Stegen. The German shot-stopper released the ball long and early and it fell perfectly for Ferran Torres down the middle and the Spaniard decided to try an outrageous backheel pass.
The pass fell perfectly for Frenkie De Jong, who carried the ball a few yards and then let fly, from outside the box to send in a sumptuous curled strike into the top left corner. The shot gave Alex Meret no chance to stop the goal and the Spanish giants got their well deserved 2-goal lead after 13 minutes.
Barcelona scored another two goals through Gerard Pique and Aubameyang after Lorenzo Insigne had pulled one back through the penalty for Napoli.
