Napoli tell UEFA to move Champions League tie with Barcelona from Camp Nou

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has told UEFA to move their Champions League last-16 second leg tie with Barcelona after a rise in coronavirus cases in the area.

De Laurentiis is not happy with the game going ahead at the Camp Nou on August 8 and thinks it should be played in another country entirely.

The president was critical of UEFA and made it clear his club are not happy about travelling to play the Catalan giants on their home turf.

“It seems like we’re at school. At Uefa, nobody knows how to do business, and with our money too.
