This is the first time these clubs have ever met in competitive action, although they did go head-to-head twice last summer in pre-season, with the Blaugrana winning on both occasions.
Ominously, the Partenopei have never eliminated Spanish opposition at the knockout stage in European competition, twice being eliminated previously by Real Madrid.
