What's happened before after 1-1 draws at Camp Nou?

Six previous European first legs at Camp Nou have ended with this score, with mixed fortunes for Barça in the return fixture

FC Barcelona drew 1-1 with Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday. It’s the seventh time that the first of two legs in a European competition has ended that way at Camp Nou. On the previous six occasions, none of which were in this competition or in its former guise as the UEFA Cup, Barça eventually advanced on three occasions are were eliminated in the other three.
