(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 22 - Napoli's hopes of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals are still alive after Victor Osimhen scored a late equalizer to earn them a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the home leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday in his first match since returning from duty with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
    Robert Lewandowski had opened the scoring for the visitors in the 60th minute.
    The match was also the first Napoli played under new boss, Francesco Calzona, their third coach of the season after the Serie A champions sacked Walter Mazzarri on Monday.
    The Naples side's Italian title defence is already effectively over as they are ninth in Serie A with 36 points from 24 games, 27 points behind leaders Inter. (ANSA).
