Serie A: Napoli draws 1-1 with Torino©AFP
Napoli drew 1-1 at home to Torino in Serie A on Friday, with their Champions League revival stalled ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona. Antonio Sanabria’s acrobatic overhead kick in the 64th minute earned Torino a point at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and damaged Napoli’s bid for European football next season. Sanabria scored his third goal of the season three minutes after Hvitsa Kvaratschelia had given Napoli the lead as Francesco Calzona’s side remained in third seven.
Napoli are two points behind Atalanta, who are in the Europa League spots and will face Juventus on Sunday.
They are seven points adrift of the Champions League places, with fourth-placed Bologna hosting defending champions Inter Milan on Saturday.
Inter Milan are favorites to win the Scudetto from Napoli, currently 15 points ahead of Juventus.
Napoli will face Barcelona in Catalonia on Tuesday night for a place in the quarter-finals of Europe’s top club competition.
After the first leg in Naples last month, the two sides drew 1-1.
