Barcelona find themselves on the edge of another UEFA Champions League group stage exit after drawing 3-3 at home to Group C rivals Inter Milan.
Robert Lewandowski rescued Barcelona’s Champions League knockout round hopes with two late goals to earn his side a 3-3 draw with Inter Milan at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
Barca needed a crucial win to have a good chance to avoid missing the knockout rounds for the second year in a row and Lewandowski delivered two goals near the end of a dramatic second half.
Barcelona are still facing elimination at the group stage of the competition, but Lewandowski’s stoppage-time equaliser gave them a slim chance of progressing with two games left.
Inter need a home win over Viktoria Plzen next week to join Bayern Munich in the last 16.

“It’s bad, I think this Champions League is being very cruel to us,” Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez told Movistar Plus. “Now it is out of our hands. What is left for us is to turn our attention quickly to Sunday’s El Clasico [against Real Madrid], bounce back and focus on LaLiga because the Champions League became very difficult and complicated for us.”
